This is the post fest from hell today. Wild speculation by people who nothing about Windows 98 to this

For that matter, I am not sure Windows 95 is fully complient either,
So, users won't have a choice but to upgrade.

Melanie


Which is wrong. Some BIOS versions that Windows 95 runs on are not complient, but to prove it to yourself Melanie just set the clock on your PC to this date in 2000 or further ahead if you want. Just be careful if you have date restricted software, it could think that you are beyond the limits of the license and bomb out.

Hi Melanie,

I think that the y2k (year 2000) problem is actually moot on pcs as the bios goes out to something like 2037.

FWIW

Ms. Melanie,

Win 3.1 is not Y2K,

Win 95 is partially Y2K. If you know which drivers you use then you will know if you have to upgrade. Some drivers are Y2K and some are not. Some of this is due to backward compatibility and industry standard drivers.

Thank you

JK
