It is no longer available free online as Microsoft
has pulled or requested that it be pulled from sites. Hate to be a
killjoy,
but requesting someone to send you copyrighted material is, well,
illegal.
You might consider a subscription to safaribooksonline, a service that
lets you use lots of technical books on various subjects for a small
fee.
They have MMOS as well as books from Adobe Press, Peachpit, OREILLY,
etc.
available for about $23/month for 10 books a month.
