It's their new (current) CMS system, that's designed to generate more permanent 
URLs, from what was discussed at the MVP summit a couple of years ago.

Subject: Rant: Microsoft website URLs

Minor rant:

  What is with Microsoft's obsession with making their website URLs useless?

How is replacing

        
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/SysinternalsSuite.mspx

with

        http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspx

in any way an improvement?  Before we had a URL you could recognize just by 
looking at it.  It was easy to find in history lists and files.  You could even 
say it or type it easily, if you had to.  Now we have what is essentially 
opaque data.  How does this help anyone?
