It's Microsoft's default address, used when the network interface is set
to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and no server responds or
accepts the request, and the "Alternate Configuration" is set to use
"Automatic private IP address".

But the real point is: it shouldn't be used in any case other than when
the interface can't get an address.  And that is only during
configuration...
