IANA Informational [Page 2]

RFC 3330 Special-Use IPv4 Addresses September 2002

   169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. It is allocated for
   communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these
   addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not
   be found.

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt

Microsoft doesn't own this block, they just follow the standards here.

Nick

I know when you dont have ip assigned ala' dhcp or static XP assigns you
some itself, this is to facilitate "plug and play networking" for home user.

Those are in the private range, as far as them being allocated to MS, I'm
not sure..
