provides specific details on the Y2K compliance of
Microsoft products. 
Microsoft's
Compliance Classification Update:
Microsoft’s
compliance classifications are being updated in the
coming weeks to respond to customer requests for
simplicity, and to better correspond to two-tiered
compliance systems. The revised classifications will
rigorously map to our existing classifications so that if
you prefer to continue to use the traditional terminology,
you can. Many who use two-tiered classification systems
will find Microsoft’s revised classifications easier
to use.
