Because Y2K measures cost a lot of money without contributing to the development of new products, top executives and company owners tend to look at them as an unwanted burden. They seldom take a close look at the state of their companies 'Y2K efforts, but when they do find out that the problem has not yet been solved, they generally get quite angry.
對企業來說，Y2K 既不能創造業績，也無法研發新產品，多數企業主都視之為不得不負擔的累贅，平時少有聞問，但一旦聽到問題還沒解決，卻又難免動怒。
