O'Reilly has recently struck a deal to publish all the microsoft titles. Might be worthwhile contacting/lobbying them.

A price warning for people who may need a copy of the last edition of MMOS
I have just (apparently) bought a copy of the MMOS 3rd edition from Dymocks. Reason is I have a need for a second copy so I thought I would jump on the net and have a dig. I normally don't go to Dymocks as past experience was pretty bad with the internet sales people.
I normally use Amazon. The pricing however seems to suggest the book has gone out of print - $200 odd dollars US is the new asking price while second hand versions (editions unstated) were selling from $135 odd US. All of these were from sellers listed by Amazon rather than Amazon themselves.
Dymocks is supposed to have sold me mine for $65.00 AUS. So if you need one - caveat emptor with the pricing!!!
