And right before they did that, they started removing footnotes from KB articles that only dealt with older OSes, so if you ever needed to go back and find something, it just wasn't there anymore. For example certain RGB packing formats were only supported on newer OSes and the footnote used to tell you that, but then it disappeared. I have been directly affected by that multiple times.

I wonder if the internet archive has a full copy of the KBs from before Microsoft dumped them. I'd love to set those up in a web server so I can reference them as needed.
