They are but they are headquartered in Redmond, Washington which isn't all that far from the Canadian border and I'm thinking the test names have something to do with golf courses in Canada. LOL! I guess the bigshots at Microsoft vacation a lot in Canada and play golf a lot. Now this is from my memory--I think that is what I read--I could be wrong. Joan Well, ok--if this is correct I was partly right: http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic160470-34-1.aspx It IS named for a place in Canada but apparently it is named for a bar in British Columbia. LOL! Now we know why the Microsoft products are so quirky--the developers have been drinking while they work! <g> Joan
