New features on the Year 2000 Resource CD
With each release of the Resource CD, we attempt to increase the selection of information, tools and product updates. Some recent improvements are:

The AutoRun UI has been designed and installed which allows for simple installation of the appropriate software upgrades and easy navigation of web content and other information. In future releases, the AutoRunÆs functionality will be expanded to support new content and to guarantee a positive user experience.

The Microsoft Year 2000 Product Analyzer searches your system for Microsoft products and provides a report with Year 2000 information.

The Microsoft Year 2000 Product Workbook allows the end user to peruse through the available MicrosoftÆs product compliance status reports.

Please note that not all content will be available in each language version of the CD. The first foreign language release will be in July 1999.
