Y2K stuff. On Friday, I upgraded my system from WIN NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 5. While I was doing it, I read some of the reasons to upgrade. For WIN NT, one of the reasons I glanced at is because of the first hour of 1/1/2000. It will take up to an hour for WIN NT machines, that have not installed the proper Service Packs, to correct the year digits. Another interesting thing I remember reading is the bit about installing programs from an older disk. Service Pack 5 tells you to reinstall Service Pack 5 if you add any of the programs on the older disk so that WIN NT can properly adjust for Y2K. Service Pack 5 also came with a Service Pack 2 for IE Explorer 4.01. It also involved upgrades for Y2K. Previously, I had thought that the concern about Y2K was overblown but maybe it is not. I know little about the inner workings of operating systems, etc. However, how many systems are running with outdated NT Service Packs out there? How many need to be up and running during that first hour of Year 2000?
