That's normally something sites are concerned about preserving for the very reason that you mentioned. I'd like to say it was probably just a mistake, but it was probably the result of a lazy programmer. That is interesting that they break their links so easily.

Lately, there's huge change done on their website. What I hate most is that they don't retain backward compatibility. I used to visit a lot of forum to salve my daily programming problem. A lot of it point to msdn for detail information. Now, all those link doesn't work anymore. They don't even give you the "converted" link or a redirection page. They just present the "content not found" page. Searching for that "old" page never seems to works. Sometime this also happen from link within microsoft itself. That really sux. How can they do something like, especially msdn. I have another complaint on microsoft’s website, especially msdn.
