Microsoft Y2K web site

Microsoft has launched a new web site to help non-professional users prepare for Year 2000, including an analyser you can download to report on your PC's Y2K status and links to any updates needed.

A free Y2K resource CD, including the analyser and updates, is also available.

Microsoft has had to issue a series of patches to make its desktop products Y2K compliant. It also faced criticism after admitting its NT Terminal Server Edition was not Y2K ready.
