InformationWeek SMB: Microsoft To End Support For Older Windows Versions
In April, Microsoft is ending official support for several older versions of Windows including XP SP2. It means the company won’t issue security updates for these versions, making them a serious security risk.
“Microsoft is warning customers that support for some older versions of the Windows operating system will end in the first half of this year.
Support for Windows Vista RTM (i.e., Vista with no service packs), ends April 13. Support for Windows XP SP2 and all versions of Windows 2000 ends July 13. Also on the latter date, Microsoft will end support for Windows Server 2000.”
