70-583 Learning Plan

Question
-
Hi,
Where did the learning plan for 70-583, Designing and Developing Windows Azure Applications, go? I seem to remember it being in place a couple of weeks ago.
It is linked from the Exam page at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-583, but results in an error message, not found.

Hi Morten,
I have just tried to access other eLearning content and get a generic error so it looks like the site is down.

Can somebody from Microsoft please comment on this? It's now 8 months later, and the link is still dead.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply.
I'm talking about the learning plan linked from the above page. Go to the "Preparation Materials" tab:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-583#tab3Then under the "Preparation Materials" heading, there is a link titled "Learning Plan for Designing and Developing Windows Azure Applications (Exam 70-583)" with the URL:
http://learning.microsoft.com/manager/LearningPlanV2.aspx?resourceId=30f78dea-f126-4b01-82eb-52cbc908e4ec&clang=en-US&cats=d4e8e42c-3d5a-4a6e-915d-d99556a49bd7Clicking on this leads to the following error page:

Thanks Jeff.
Okay, finally it's working. It was something strange with my Microsoft live account. I signed out, and suddenly the correct page showed!
I then signed back in again (from learning.microsoft.com), and I was taken to a page asking about my preferences for Microsoft learning emails, which I filled-out and submitted. Now the page shows correctly regardless of whether I'm signed in or out of my Microsoft live account.
So basically, there's a bug somewhere in the interaction between learning.microsoft.com and Microsoft live accounts (which of course I can't reproduce now as I've filled-out the form).
Regarding the contents of the Learning Plan: I assume that since you have so many Microsoft qualifications, you've done this exam? The content on the Learning Plan above is quite old. Is it worth my time going through this Learning Plan, or would it be sufficient to go through the Windows Azure Training Kit - November 2012. No, I'm not trying to short-cut the process - I just don't want to spend time going through older material if it's not necessary - the newest material is more relevant for me and the Azure Projects we have here at work.
Thanks for your help
