They haven't "lost" their marbles at all.

The current location of Microsoft's Marbles(TM) has been virtualised to
an alternative, physical location not known to (or needing to be known
by) anyone outside the Redmond Reality Distortion Zone.

As expected, a copy of this location is stored in the Windows Registry,
access to which is /also/ virtualised and, because of this, Legacy
applications may not necessarily be able to read this location in order
to ascertain the Marbles' current location.

Both locations (file system and Registry) are liable to change so an API
method will be provided in order to retrieve them. This method will
take arguments of the enumerated types DayOfTheWeek,
DirectionTheWindIsBlowing and the result of the function
IsThereAnRInTheMonth().
