I called Microsoft and this is for real. They are mailing me a Y2K update CD which is not available on the Web.

You may or may not need these numbers, but pass it on to people who do!

Windows 95 and 98 both need CD's to ready them for y2k. I called the numbers and it's TRUE.

For no charge they mail you what is needed....the MS lady told me it makes them MORE y2k compliant or something like that....so I sent for one for my neighbor too, they don't mind sending more than 1 in a package. Here is the info. she sent me below:

Notice to anyone running Windows 98 - it is NOT year 2000 compliant. Call Microsoft at 1-888-219-1302 to order the upgrade on CD-ROM. [Windows 95 see below]

When you call, do not use the digital telephone number access. STAY on the line until the recording is done, and you'll get an operator to take your order..

Tell them you want "Windows 98 Year 2000 Update" on CD-ROM..

It IS free and there is no charge whatsoever for the CD or the shipping..

If you are using Windows 95 you must call 1-888-673-8925, option # 4 for 2000 update, which is free.
