The Seabiscuit of enterprise software
By John Hogan, News Editor
![]()
At the ripe old age of 4, Windows 2000 Server has hit middle age. With a hot rookie nipping at its heals (Windows Server 2003), the thoroughbred server operating system's days on the track are numbered.
This week, Microsoft began telling customers that both Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server will start their end-of-life cycle April 1. That's no April Fools' joke. After that date, Redmond will no longer sell those versions of its flagship software through its sales channels. The plug gets pulled for mainstream support in the spring of 2005, and extended support will stop after March 31, 2007. After that, if you're still running Windows 2000 in your shop, you're on your own.
Read more of John's views on Windows 2000 Server end of life and
other top stories of the week.
