Microsoft provide an update on upcoming support lifecycle changes for Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 and help clarify some misperceptions of a Service Pack 3 for Windows Server 2003. “Extended Support for Windows 2000 Server will end on July 13, 2010. At this time, Windows 2000 Server’ll no longer be publicly supported. You’ll be able to continue using "Self-Help Online Support"*. On July 13, 2010, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 (at a supported service pack level) will move from the Mainstream Support phase to the Extended Support phase. Also, Microsoft will not have a SP3 release for Windows Server 2003.”
