Re: Support for Windows 2003

Yeah, but they're not new ones. Either they're ones you haven't installed yet or they're for Office applications.

If support for a given Windows version has ended (and it has for Win2K03
Gold as well as WinXP SP1, WinXP, WinME, Win98, and Win95), no new patches
will be released for it.

From the Life Cycle page
"When a service pack is released, Microsoft will provide 12 months of
support for the previous service pack".
Since SP1 was released March 2005, I would have to assume that this means
that support for pre-SP1 support would end March 2006.
The question is, when will the security patches for Windows Server 2003 no
longer be released for pre-SP1 Windows 2003.
Am I going to find on any given Tuesday that I cannot apply a security
patch
without SP1????

Good luck trying to figure out Windows Life Cycle!

See http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3198 and
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy

But here's probably the best resource:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifesupsps

<QP>
Support ends either 12 months after the next service pack releases or at
the end of the product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first.
</QP>

Win2K03 SP1 was released 30 Mar-05, so...

I can tell you that support for Office 2003 SP1 has already ended.
(Office
2003 SP2 was released 26 Sept-05.)

answer. Thanks in advance,
