It would seem that since the article is about the history of M$ being
ignorant about geographical and cultural references, that there are not
many recent facts. This however does not discredit the article or it's
source.

An article does not need dates to make it believable. Most should know
around about when certain software came out, especially since most of
the discussed software has a year in it's nae such as Windows 95 or
Office 97.
