Well, actually I'd be very interested to see if someone can find addresses I
did not. Since I don't use windows for anything useful I may very well have

These are mine:

207.46.0.0/16 207.68.0.0/16

Or 207.46.0.0 and 207.68.0.0.

There are many others from companies that MS bought, etc. But I've only found
upgrades point someplace within these.
