 I've used Windows for about ten years.  I don't remember ever seeing
a "What's This" message.
 I just checked Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft Office, and Internet
Explorer. Can't find it.  I did see it on the Emacs menu, but since I
seldom use menus in Emacs I don't believe I'd seen it before this
discussion.
