Support site hell

  1. Go to Microsoft’s support page regarding VisualStudio 2013 Update 3
  2. Look for a link to download VisualStudio 2013 Update 3
  3. In lieu of finding said link, find a link “Download the latest Visual Studio 2013 update package now”
  4. Click that link
  5. Find yourself looking at the download page for VisualStudio 2013 Update 4
  6. Pray to the higher power of one’s choice that someone else managed to grab Update 3 and stash it somewhere
  7. Rejoice bemusedly when that proves to be the case
  8. Continue on with the rabbiting away in the Cube Farm unphased because this obviates crawling through Microsoft’s support site’s labyrinth of automated page generation hell with URLs that are impossible to game. This is the best possible outcome one can expect and is the harbinger of a good day.

  1. Forgot:
    0. Find the VisualStudio 2013 Update 3 support page using a search engine as Microsoft’s support site cannot be easily navigated.
