And to make it even more official looking, the links in the docs are genuine links to Microsoft sites (yes, I checked), so I suspect these are real MS documents that have been "borrowed" and modified as necessary for their purposes. I have to believe these are going to catch some people by surprise. I've gotten several today (and I typically go months without any attempts). They do vary in content and formatting but are similar enough to have come from the same original source. //Jack |
