The site I sent says USA and Canada also went at the same year. I would
think the USA going would have more influence on Microsoft than the UK.

Page 23 of the Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 7.0:

[For example, GOMONTH() won't go back farther than the year 1753, the year
after England took on the "Gregorian shift" of the calendar, jumping 11 days
overnight and adding the bizarre leap-year rules of "every four, except in
years ending in 00's, except those divisible by 400."]

Great book, highly recommended. :)
