New MSDN = REALLY cool

This is great news:

When I was searching for some MSDN links for Whidbey stuff in https://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/library last night, I was redirected to https://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/default.aspx.

I am really impressed by the new site.

Now you can use "https://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/<namespace>.aspx" to get the documents for a particular namespace. For example, I reference System.Reflection quite a lot. So I type https://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/System.Reflection.aspx, all the documents for classes under System.Reflection are right there.

This is what MSDN team called "URL aliases".

Aliases also works for classes. To look for documentation of System.Reflection.Assembly class, I will simply type https://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/System.Reflection.Assembly.aspx.

This is superb work done by MSDN team!

<Update> I can't believe this. It actually works with properties and methods as well. Like https://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/System.Reflection.Assembly.FullName.aspx. This is too good to be true.</update>
