It's such a shame that they killed (twice now?) all the comments in the blog.


There is a more-or-less comprehensive archive[1] up to 2019 (which should probably be scraped and hoarded). The article in question is there, comments included[2].

Side note: Michael Kaplan’s blog, which Microsoft took down in a remarkably shameful manner, has also been archived[3], while Eric Lippert reposted (most of?) his old articles on his personal WordPress instance[4].

Larry Osterman's Blog seems to be gone too...


It’s still there[1], although a number of the posts seem to be missing. Inexplicably, (most of) the comments are in place. (There are other Microsoft blogs that have disappeared without a trace, but not this one.)

I haven't heard that name in a few years, but I remember quite vividly that I found his blog by searching for "+int03 +blog".

At the time that seemed like a good way of getting low-level code-related posts.


They also changed the URL at least once and broke all links to it. His posts deserve better.


Yes, I miss my weekly-ish from Raymond's arch nemesis Yuhong Bao.

For this specific blog post there's an HN discussion¹ and archive.today² (beware!?³) did grab comments while the Internet Archive does not load them:
