But it works sometimes. I've noticed something though; here at home, 
even though I use the URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx it 
takes me the the *UK* MS website, even though I've removed all MS 
cookies. How does it do this (know that I'm in the UK)? From my ISP I guess.

I wonder if, at work, it takes me the the main (US) website instead, and 
the code there is different?
