Channel 9 (2004–2021)

As the article says, lots of content that was previously accessible is now a lot more difficult to track down.

Channel 9 hosted much more than Microsoft-related stuff.

For example, if you try searching for this[1] 2009 interview with Lars Bak about V8, Google will point you to where it should be (the previously working URL), but in typical fashion, actually trying to hit that page dumps you out at a completely useless (and breathless) announcement about—a sort of "our incredible journey to come".

It doesn't help that many of the pages in the Wayback Machine are broken because of JS skulduggery on the Channel 9 site, or—I've found—returning pages localized in Thai.
