Don't let the source put you off: Documenting the Web together - Microsoft Edge Blog[^] The first part of the article is all you need unless you want more background.
Hmm. It appears that blogs.windows.com will only allow users of window 10, windows 8, and windows mobile devices to opt out of their data slurping. Given that this is in breach of European law, I have opted to block the site from my intranet.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Yes, but as cited by others that made comments in that article, I am annoyed that they didn’t consider the legions ofdevelopers that are maintaining legacy systems for increasingly long periods because companies don’t want to spend the money to rewrite their apps.

COBOL devs are still needed. That means legacy MS framework devs will be needed for years to come. However, if MS deletes all of their docs for these legacy frameworks, where will the legacy devs go for assistance? That's right the same place the COBOL devs go. So, COBOL.

To this day, you can still find stuff covering long-retired versions of Office, Windows, and even DOS. You might have to use Google or Bing to help you find it, but it’s all there.
