January. It's an American company so it's really not ambiguous

  I don't know why you have been down-voted, but you're somehow right. In American English it is common to put month before the day. An URL in the submission contains locale "en-us". If you would switch the localization of the website, let's say to German (de-de), you will see "9.1.2022". Give a try in other languages: - https://developer.microsoft.com/cs-cz/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ https://developer.microsoft.com/cs-cz/windows/downloads/virt... - https://developer.microsoft.com/da-dk/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ https://developer.microsoft.com/da-dk/windows/downloads/virt... - https://developer.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ https://developer.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/downloads/virt...

    Yep the localization in the URL combined with the fact it's an American company really makes this not ambiguous at all. The downvotes are really unnecessary

  >It's an American company so it's really not ambiguous I don't think that necessarily follows. ~4% of the world population is American so it's likely that a sizable chunk of the website traffic expects the non-US date format.

    I have never seen a US company publish a date in a non-US date format. Not once

      You see YYYY-MM-DD sometimes, but that's clearly not confusable.
