GeneralMicrosoft's Broken Links Pin

It seems that Microsoft have broken some MSDN links to blogs.

For example, on the front page of MSDN dev center for Desktop, Desktop Apps[^], is a Recommended link to Software Architecture[^].

Following that gives a nice "Object Moved" page, with "This document may be found here." Where "here" is a link to the following page[^].

Sadly, it all breaks down there - automatic redirection is not working, and there is no link to the actual requested blog anywhere. Over the last week, I've seen 10 or so similar broken links to blogs.

Edit: I guess this is part of MS's "Documentation Improvement Project" I've been reading about all over the Web this week. Of course, all I can say so far is that my opinion is that it's DIP-sh*t.

(I'll fetch my coat).
