@jasongroce This PR is ready for review.

Note @gewarren comments above. Because these are basically reference topics, it's hard to lengthen the title metadata text per guidance - let me know if you want me to pull "Microsoft" from the title.

the build is hung for some reason. I'll try again and troubleshoot as necessary.
