Honestly I dont feel it's a loss. Community Support was always very low quality. Lots of terrible low grade problem reports with 59 "me too!"s and a poor agent typing a scripted response that was only tangentially related to the issue. Frankly, a bot trained on reddit and SO would comfortably replace the majority of answers. This is not the Raymond Chen level of problem solving we are talking about.
Don't forget the Microsoft certified diamond elite premier plus MVP of 2002 saving everyones corrupt Exchange installations because microsoft can't be bothered to offer real support
