4.0 release date

Most people identify December 1999 as the release date, but that was just the date that Microsoft announced it. See the press release here [1]. The press release says "General availability is expected in late January 1998.", but I can't find any source that says for certain when it was actually released.

I was using Microsoft Support Lifecycle
Also this page says it was on October 22, 1997 --tyomitch 13:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Just realised that press release I was looking at was for "BackOffice Server 4.0" not "BackOffice Small Business Server 4.0". Found the correct press release [2]. So the October 22 1997 date seem to be correct. AlistairMcMillan 16:05, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Uhm... And what are the release dates at Microsoft Support Lifecycle, for that matter? They are all different from PressPass dates. I thought initially that PressPass list just 'announcement' dates, but now I'm confused. --tyomitch 07:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
