"... of the 500 products to which Microsoft has made changes this month, 40 percent require mandatory upgrades which Microsoft has yet to release ... and 19 percent have changed their status from 'Y2K compliant' to 'under revision." GEEZ. This is BS!!! Did you see this?? ... And if all doesn't go well? Microsoft says it's prepared, but isn't too concerned. ``In a way, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it,' said Don Jones, head of the company's [Microsoft] Y2K efforts. "I think we're excited to see all of our work pay off." ... greenspun.com Christine will get a kick out of this: "Some popular Microsoft programs require software patches to function correctly on Jan. 1. These patches are available on Microsoft's Web site, and generally take a few minutes to download. Still, Jones doesn't expect every user will go and actually download the patch - some users might not even know how to do it."
