i did a search on google and just got a bunch of sites trying to sell me a book.

I have a company who are a Microsoft Certified Partner and demand their site be made according to the "Microsoft Manual of Style." Has anyone ever run into this compliance?

I've never heard of it before, but I wouldn't take on any site that had to be made according to a Manual. That's just BS.
