Microsoft Support WebCasts?

T

T. Waters

Google led me to this page containing a Microsoft Support WebCast.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/webcasts/wc0914
01/WCT091401.asp
I am interested in finding more of these, but navigating through the MS
website is so confusing and unintuitive, I am out of places to look, having
gone in circles for some time. It seems that, having found one of these, the
rest must be hiding out there somewhere...
Anyone out there good at navigating the MS website? Or know how I might
inquire of MS?
PS: I am NOT interested in audio downloads, just the written transcript.
I have been to this page (
Microsoft Support WebCasts)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;RID;webcst&style=type2&sd=
gn
and it does not have the printed transcripts.

Past Support WebCasts

They will have written transcripts after 3 weeks of the Webcast, you
will find a link in the particular Webcast you are looking at.

Thank you for the hint. Now I am wondering, since these webcasts go back
several years, and I have figured out the algorithm to create all the Web
addresses of the transcripts and can find them going way back, yet this is
very cumbersome. The icing on the cake would be if the "mother lode" index
or list of all the transcripts could be found somewhere - that is, if it
even exists. Anybody out there clairvoyant?

At first, that looked like some sort of "mother lode," but it did not give
the option to read transcripts, and for whatever reason, it did not go back
all the way to the beginning of the WebCasts.
I can fool the URL for this webcast:
http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/webcasts/en/wc061202/wct061202.asp
and make it show me transcripts for other webcasts by changing the
6-character dates. Sort of crazy, since there are hundreds of these (one a
week for years) and most are of no interest to me.
Therefore, I give up, though why MS archives these online, yet basically
unavailable, unless one Googles one by accident, is a bit of a mystery.
Perhaps they are just a dormant archive for historical purposes?
