Y2K for IDS on NT/SP4
Folks, I've just read this article that says that Microsoft is not certifying NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 as Y2K compliant. The first NT that is Y2K compliant is NT4.0 with Service Pack 4. http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9902/02/nty2k.idg/index.html Given the Informix recommendation that we not install SP4, does this mean that all of our NT-based solutions are not Y2K-compliant? What is Informix doing about this? Will they make the product work with SP4?

This is a serious issue for Newera applications too. Informix may not release a version of Newera suitable for SP4 which means that users with PC's only using SP3 could (probably do) have other applications that are affected !
