Effective today, July 13, 2010 Microsoft ended support for support for two key Microsoft products, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Service Pack 2. Botnay Bay Technology recommends that business and personal computer users assess their computers to determine if this end of support will impact you.
Windows 2000
The Extended Support phase for all editions of Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Professional has ended. Microsoft will no longer issue security updates or non-security hotfixes for Windows 2000 after this date. In addition, assisted support will no longer be available for this product.
The only remedy to this situation is to upgrade to a supported operating system, most often this will mean upgrade the computer as well.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Support for Windows XP SP2 will also end on July 13, 2010. This date was established when Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) was released on April 21, 2008.
Microsoft will no longer issue security updates or non-security hotfixes for Windows XP SP2 after this date.
If you have a computer with Service Pack 2, the remedy is to download and install Service Pack 3.
If you have any question about whether or not you are effected by this end of support, contact Botnay Bay Techology at 603-436-6035.
