Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 2 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.
This covers the compliance of the SNAS server client components running on Windows NT, Windows 9.x, Windows 3.x, and DOS 6.22 to the extent the platforms are compliant.

Description of how dates are handled in the product:
