The Windows docs are the same. The only reason I know about it was that it just bit me. One user (so far, fingers and toes crossed), changed the setting today to 4 digits for the year portion of the short date. The application(s) don't anywhere specifically set CENTURY to OFF (which is my mistake). I'd implemented a rollover function to handle this sort of problem, since most of the data entry is "heads-down" and they've been used to just typing 2 digits for the year. I got a call about this, and in researching it found this to be the case. Anyway, it's my first Y2K bug (and hopefully last).
