Representatives from the grocery industry, financial services and NHS reassured the public that food, money and healthcare would not be affected by the millennium bug as the latest results from Action 2000's Infrastructure Forum are published.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
