At least they're consistant. The other one is called Fabrikam.
www.contoso.com redirects you to Microsoft's website. | |

| Contoso is a generic name MS reserves for examples and such. You will not only see it on many tests but in pretty much every MS training material. Its a little better than saying "XYZ" company everytime.

| Hey, at least it's less confusing that the one I saw in 1 of the 2003 Beta exams:
humongousinsurance.com.
I'm not joking. I let them know, in the comment section, that this could get very confusing for test takers. | |

| Micro$oft uses the "Contoso" company at TechNet meetings as well. | |
