How the product handles dates:
Encarta Encyclopedia does not accept user-provided dates with the following exception:
Encarta Encyclopedia owners may download monthly Yearbook and Web Link updates for a period of 18 months, July 1998 through December 1999, for Encarta Encyclopedia 99. Encarta Encyclopedia will automatically notify the user that a new update is available by checking to see whether the Yearbook is up to date based on a regular publishing schedule. (New updates are made available on the Encarta Encyclopedia website on the 10th of each month during the 18-month life of the Yearbook.) In the Troubleshooting section of the Downloads feature, Encarta Encyclopedia displays and allows users to change the Operating System Clock date. The date format is as follows:
MMMM DD, YYYY (4-digit format)
Encarta Encyclopedia also uses a date to bring up download and upgrade reminder windows. These are based off of set dates and function normally through December 31, 2035.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
Not Applicable
What issues are there?:
Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 99 has no date issues, however, its discs include the files for Internet Explorer v4.01 Service Pack 1 so that users have immediate access to browser software. The Microsoft Virtual Machine software update included with this version of Internet Explorer contains year 2000 issues. Encarta Encyclopedia does not use this component or Internet Explorer and is not affected by this matter. See the compliance document for Internet Explorer 4.0x for information to resolve its issues.
