I sometimes have the impression that msdn articles are from time to time depublicized and some information is taken offline either under management directions or just lost in migration. Its quite amazing that CodeProject is more useful than the docs of a company like Microsoft, who actually sells MS visual studio for money.
When management decided to go full .NET, it was very hard to find out Win32 stuff, nowadays lots of it are back again with the "going native" change of wind.
However, most of the documentation related to Win16, Win32s and game libraries like WinG are now gone.
They are not the only ones, though. I don't find any longer many of the Apple documents from the early Mac OS X days.
Or the commercial UNIX documentation pages that used to be quite easy to find in the late 90's.

It is no impression.
