+// this test fails to load ADO
+//
+// a change in windows longhorn x64(affecting vista, 7, 8, 2008, 2008r2) broke ADO.
+//
+// there is a fix available, but user has to install it.
+// given that ADO was deprecated a long time ago in favor of newer APIs,
+// I don't think its worth the trouble of making the user install the fix to
+// get an accurate test run. its better to just not run the test or expect it to fail.
