The link's not busted, it's just that Microsoft has an invalid security certificate. You have to add an exception if you want to go there in Firefox 3.

Both rude AND unhelpful. That doesn't say what the advantage to Gold over regular Certified partner is.

The Microsoft Partner Program Overview is a great place to get started on this.

Becoming gold has a few benefits, but mostly it's just another sticker to put on your website for your customers.

Here are the non-sticker benefits:

You get:

  • Microsoft Action Pack Subscription (MAPS)
  • Certified and Gold Certified Partner Software
  • Training
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Licensing
  • Support
  • Complete Benefits
