Hmm, I just copied / pasted them and true enough, neither one of them 
did what it was supposed to (i.e. take me to the Windows marketplace 
search with results of "Angry Birds").

I Googled for Windows marketplace, clicked on the Windows marketplace 
and performed the search directly from the website. It gave me the same 
exact link.

The link now works. Looks like Microsoft must be doing something funky 
with cookies, sessions, or whatever. Not sure yet.
