: Why is "mac" disallowed in microsoft.com/robots.txt? At http://www.microsoft.com/robots.txt, why are there entries like: Disallow: /*/mac/help.mspx Disallow: /*/mac/help.mspx? Disallow: /*/mactopia/help.mspx?

At www.microsoft.com/robots.txt, why are there entries like:

Disallow: /*/mac/help.mspx
Disallow: /*/mac/help.mspx?
Disallow: /*/mactopia/help.mspx?
....


Could there be a real reason to not allow spiders to index those pages or is it something nefarious?

It's because Microsoft has products for mac, but it wants to separate its primary products from Apple's when people are searching for 'mac'. This way you get Microsoft reaults as much as possible, unless you're searching for mac software from Microsort specifically.
