Go to their web site, some of these Y2K bugs in the software are very minor. I would say compared to the bugs that exist in the Windows OS, the remaining Y2K bugs are not a big deal. BTW, I would bet they will have them fixed soon.

My strong expectation is that Y2k is the second time in the last few years that Microsoft misses a very major technological and societal development (first time missing the internet business development; Netscape etc around 1995). This time it might hurt even more I guess... John (more than 1 year ago I jokingly/mockingly posted on SI some self-created mock ads supposedly from Microsoft about them launching a Visual Basic Y2k remediation tool... some months ago they actually did a similar thing ;-) )
