1— Keeping Safe, Sound, and Secure with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Discussing security with your clients and helping them plan secure systems are valuable opportunities to gain credibility— and grow your service revenues at the same time. Windows NT Server 4.0 relies on a comprehensive set of security features that ensures only authorized users and applications can access system resources. It offers three different avenues to regulate access to your system and the information in it: guest account, share level permissions, and file level permissions. And Windows NT Server 4.0 provides everything you need to build a secure system right in the box. Find out more about keeping your customers’ information secure at:

2—The Details of Y2K: Finding Minor Issues Before They Become Major Headaches
It’s easy to make assumptions about Y2K compliance or date usage of an item without carefully verifying them first. Finding the truth requires creative thinking and the willingness to dig deeply enough to find out how an application or piece of equipment actually operates. But the payoff is catching those little issues now that could cause major disruptions later—a service your clients will remember. Read about the surprising results some companies got when they tested their supposedly compliant systems, and the techniques you can use to nip future problems in the bud.

4— Piracy Bust Reveals Over 32,000 Stolen Copies of Microsoft Office 97 Illegally Sold Worldwide
The owner of a Boston, Massachusetts-based computer store has pleaded guilty to numerous counts for selling over US$20 million of stolen Microsoft software between 1994 and 1997. The stolen software consisted mainly of Office 97 Professional Edition and was sold to CD-ROM resellers in California and England.
