"One fairly high-profile Y2K issue: Software giant Microsoft said it is experiencing two Year 2000-related problems that affect software for viewing Web pages and using its free email service, Hotmail.

"Microsoft's Internet Explorer software is displaying the date as 3900 on some Web pages when it reads outdated programming language commands scripted in some sites, Bloomberg reported. Microsoft also experienced a "minor" glitch in its Hotmail email program that can cause an error in some message dates."
