It's a cute comment, but the answer is in there. I don't think Microsoft is highly motivated to update some of this ancient IE embedding lore:

    hr = pDoc->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IServiceProvider),
                              (void **)&spServiceProvider);

    hr = spServiceProvider->QueryService(__uuidof(ITimerService),
                                         &spTimerService);

    hr = spTimerService->CreateTimer(NULL, ppTimer);

Wouldn't be the first time, when it was revealed on HN that the website for Monster Truck Madness was still up it was taken down shortly after.

That was all over the net, not just HN. I suspect it got a ton of unexpected traffic and it was brought to the attention of someone who didn't want it hanging around as a liability.
