Yesterday I read a PC Media magazine that Microsoft will stop providing support for Windows 2000 Operating System and Operating System Windows XP SP2 that will be undertaken at a date July 13, 2010. After that date by the public support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 will end. In other words, the Microsoft will not provide information or more security updates for Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2.

At the same time also, Windows 2000 Server will also terminate Extended Service Suport, from Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 will be moved from Mainstream Support services to Extended Support which will end on July 14, 2015.

For most of its software, Microsoft provides Mainstream Support, followed by Extended Support and in the end with the Self – Help Online Support.
