Another Powershell book from Microsoft Switzerland as well as demo files to go along with it, might be useful for those thinking of entering the Scripting Games in February.

Thank you for what looks to be a great find. However when I went to download the files the page says "This E-Reference is no longer available in any offers"

Was the offer taken down that quickly or am I just missing something?
