*ROTFLOL* !!!!!! I first thought about this possibility but did not
belive that MS can make such a silly mistake!!!! But in the end it just
supports my image of this $$ company.... Do they know about this and
what is their official reaction? Let me guess.... They try to redefine
the calendar so their calcualtions are correct (you know the joke
about MS-engineers trying to repair a broken light bulb?)

MS redefined darkness as new standard!!!

Greetings,
