Yes.  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
