SUMMARY
If you create a calendar for the year 2000 AD using the Calendar Wizard, the calendar displays February with 29 days in it. This number of days is correct, as 2000 AD is a leap year.



MORE INFORMATION
According to the Gregorian Calendar, century years (1800, 1900, and so on) are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. Therefore, 1900 AD was not a leap year, but 2000 AD will be. Similarly, the year 2100 AD won't be a leap year, but the year 2400 AD will be.
