I never said support for Win2K03 Gold /had/ ended, I only posited that it may have ended.
Best contact your TAM with any additional questions, Wayne.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack
1 — Download the update
"Note: This security update requires Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server
2003 Service Pack 1"
"Extended security update support for Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
Service Pack 6a and Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 ended on June 30, 2004.
Extended security update support for Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Service
Pack 6a ended on December 31, 2004. Extended security update support for
Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 ended on June 30, 2005. I am still
using one of these operating systems; what should I do?
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 6a, Windows NT Server 4.0 Service
Pack 6a, Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, and Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 have
reached the end of their support life cycles. It should be a priority for
customers who have these operating system versions to migrate to supported
versions to prevent potential exposure to vulnerabilities".
Does not appear that Windows 2003 has reached the end of it's support
lifecycle?

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.

"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.

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.)

I'm looking for the official deadline, but I cannot find a diffinitive
answer. Thanks in advance,
