I worked at Microsoft at the time, and much ass was busted to implement fixes and test our product (with other teams doing the same, I assume) before the rollover occurred. On call as the clock ticked over to midnight in our time zone, and...I ended up playing Age of Empires for eight hours because nothing happened.
But don't be fooled: nothing happened because of the tremendous amount of work done beforehand to make sure nothing happened.
