About the Microsoft Euro Strategy

Microsoft plans to support the Euro currency symbol and to provide a smooth transition to the Euro. Microsoft will make product updates available that will enable Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 to support the new currency symbol. Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 will also support the Euro from their market availability dates.

In addition, Microsoft Office products will offer Euro character support. Users with an operating system that supports the Euro currency symbol, updated printer fonts, a printer that supports the Euro symbol through downloadable fonts, and an updated version of Office should be able to work using the symbol for the single European currency.
