.NET's got nothing to do with it, although it may have the same problem,
after all Office isn't a .NET application.

I don't have the globalized version of XP installed, but a quick scan of
DLLs in my system32 directory showed 135 DLLs with "Wednesday" in it.
I'd guess that the translation is part of the base C runtime and is
copied into each DLL. 

Not to ask a silly question, but why not report it as a bug to MS? It
would seem to me that an incorrectly capitalized day or month name would
most certainly be a bug.

I think you are asking the wrong group of people. You might need to
ask a .net programmers forum or something along that line.
