The short answer is, Yes the full list is gone.
With the upcoming release of Windows 8 it seems Microsoft are shifting their focus on writing Apps (or gadgets) for Windows 8 rather than Windows 7.
I did find this article which lists a few more gadgets for Windows 7 that are still about elsewhere on the internet.
Incidently, a quick look at that Microsoft ...

What you should be looking for is a HTML5 Internet speed test. No add-ons/plugins (Flash/Java) are required when it comes to HTML5, and it should work well on both desktop and mobile devices.
Here are 4 HTML5 Internet speed test websites I have found:
HTML5SpeedTest.me
SpeedOf.Me
testmy.net
BandwidthPlace.com

John C's answer is not correct, though I had to sign up to find out the differences. The documentation about pricing is really a nightmare, and the calculator is also not of much help.
The Free model is different from Shared, this is a screenshot of the control panel:
The differences are:
With the free model, you do not get any IP address to point your ...

The websites only appear to be free for 12 months and if you already have an Azure subscription of some kind (or for the length of the 90-day trial if you use one of those).
If you do have that, then the limitations are listed on this page.
During the Windows Azure Web Sites preview under the shared instances

One non-optimal possibility is download the video and then play it in VLC which has the ability to increase the volume up to 800% (using the mousewheel on the volume slider).

Zune Pass has only very recently become available in countries outside of the US. The rollout has coincided with the launch of Windows Phone 7 around the world, as Windows Phone 7 has a lot of integrated features that link up with Zune.
The problems with launching "all-you-can-eat" music services like this around the world come down to the fact that laws on ...

I went through most all Win 7 gadgets on Microsoft's site a while back, my conclusion was that they weren't worth worrying about. They all tended to be clunky and poorly designed in my opinion. For any of the features I was looking to gadgets for I was able to find far better software app replacements.
For the basic gadget/widget like elemnets suchs as ...

The SkyDrive Synced Storage (5 GB) associated with Live Mesh does not integrate into the other SkyDrive located at skydrive.live.com (25 GB).
regarding the storage,SkyDrive Synced Storage (5 GB) is included in the skydrive.live.com (25 GB).
The only point of "integration" is a link to View Synced Folders within the SkyDrive that will show any folders ...

It could be one of a few things:
Your friends account could be the 'email only' setup (If that is still available, I don't recall).
The country/area where your friend resides/trying to play might not allow streaming.
Silverlight might not be installed (or a linux OS that does not support Netflix).
Should be one of those, otherwise have him contact ...

Long paths and long filenames are not really the same thing, although the issues faced with the old MS-DOS 8.3 filenames are now history.
You can try Windows Live Mesh, which is available for Windows Vista onwards and MacOSX.

I found my answer, maybe it will help someone with the same problem:
I changed my computer's Location in Windows from US to UK. Then I restarted my machine and voila! I now have a Zune Pass (and can access the above link).
Here's where I changed it (in the Control Panel)...
Surprising, but there you go. That's all it was. Very bizarre.

I doubt such a service exists. For business applications hosting them offsite on VMs is a cinch. There are no graphics and rarely videos. But for games, the bandwidth would be too intensive. Imagine trying to play Modern Warfare over the internet. Either you would have insane lag as your computer tries to download intensive graphics real-time or you would ...

Presumably flash is accessing you audio at the driver level so the only change you could make would be there i.e. using a driver that lets you route the audio through processing (It might be worth looking into this http://jackaudio.org/ I'm not sure this will do do the job).
Perhaps HTML5s video tag will open up the ability to do this sort of thing with a ...
