At the risk of repeating myself, I find that once again I quote a particular releveant bit from Mostly

See my other post to find out what the answer was, Ben. :-)

evilgwyn,
Thanks for the pointer! I gave up looking for that, it seems, only a few months before they actually got around to it!

Michael,
I guess it's a personal taste thing. I can live without the "crutch" if I need to, but I'd rather not on the machines that I spend most of my time using. It's handy being able to rely on muscle memory to find my most-used apps because they are always in the same places. On other people's machines my most-used apps aren't generally available anyway. :)

This is, of course, off-topic... but since as stated I've never actually upgraded to Windows XP -- and I'm using an English install of Windows anyway -- I couldn't begin to guess the answer to this question! I guess you can think of my earlier post as an admission that I have no idea! :)

The exception that proves the rule

Hi Maurits --

None of the above specifically, though you are very very close to what was actually changed in your first two guesses there (but not the third) !

Is it:

Two-digit years are interpreted as between 1930 and 2029 (Windows 98)

to

Two-digit years are interpreted as between 1950 and 2049 (Windows 2000?)

Failing that, is it related to a political change combining two locales into a new one?

Hi James,

A great guess! But no, it is not that, either. I'll post the answer in a few hours, I think.

I'm going to guess that it has to do with keyboard layout preferences. (Wild guess, so no worries either way.)

Hehe, fair enough!

Well, I don't know enough about international changes to know the answer to *that* one, then :p~
