So, MSDN has renamed all of its pages again. I thought the MSDN folks
promised us last time that was never going to happen again.
It is certainly VERY difficult for me to understand why it was critical
for the page “ms797525.aspx” to be renamed to “ff564183.aspx”. They are
both arbitrary names, and both namespaces are equally large. This just
seems silly to me, and it makes all of the search engines and incoming
links useless.

Well I don’t know…
I think “ff564183.aspx” is MUCH more memorable than “ms797525.aspx” – It’s the FF that makes all the difference for me.

The problem was that ‘ms797525’ could not be directly converted into hex whereas ‘ff564183’ can.

I wish I could discard that theory as silly, but it makes just as much
sense as any other explanation I can come up with.
The conspiracy nut within me wondered whether it was done to invalidate
all of Google’s MSDN pointers, so they could teach *BING* how to
redirect automatically. Sadly, a quick check proves that it’s not
true. All of *BING*'s pointers are bad, also.
(I can’t think the word “Bing” without having it be accompanied by a
bell sound, which is why I spell it *BING*…)

Because ‘ff564183’ WILL lower your TCO while increasing your ROI at the same time, all while you use MSDN to meet the needs of your MISSION CRITICAL business applications.

You forgot ECOSYSTEM.

As long as we’re at it, the whole thing is also really quite ACTIONABLE.

Maybe we can get someone to DRILL DOWN into this issue.

Maybe we need some ROADMAPS?

IIRC, not so long ago someone was complaining about the noise on NTDEV (and blaming it on me , of course)…

Probably a deliberate porter bell “at your service” connotation is the
reason they chose this name. To achieve a SYNERGISTIC ACTIONABLE
OUTPUT-ORIENTED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. (To not break the chain.)

We should make a plan for how to design a procedure for implementing
software solutions dealing with this kind of issues.
