Invalid links are displayed to users as crossed out in the text. I get a list of broken links and redirect them to archive copies of the Wayback machine if possible. During the last months I have been getting 'bursts' with many broken links to Microsoft &#8211; that is: Microsoft has deleted the downloads for patches or hotfixes, but also KB articles. <\/p>\n<p>For some deleted content this makes sense, for example hotfixes or updates contained in the update rollups or cumulative updates. The problem I see: Deleting KB articles is of course stupid for people looking for the old content. But Microsoft doesn't seem to dispute it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]Occasionally Microsoft cleans up its web site and deletes older support articles.
