As I wrote the previous blog entry I started thinking about all the other products I come across in my daily professional life and started creating the table shown below.
For those that are still running Windows 2000 Server systems, it’s about time to start migrating these because next year the extended support will end.
More product lifecycle information can be found on the Microsoft Product Lifecycle site.
