As you've said maybe there will be a 2 or a 3 but W2K will soon enter the Extended Support phase June 30, 2005 which means there will be 5 years left for support of WK2 and all server versions of W2K until June 2010.
Many companies are still using W2K and are very slow to migrate to WIN XP not only due to hardware and software compatibility issues but mainly licencing costs per server and seat. This means that W2K will be a favorite target for hackers for a long time to come not to mention W2K3 and XP. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/news/bulletins/extend edsupport.asp Marc's quote for the day: "Sometimes working with people can be a lot like working with metal because they sometimes can both be hard to bend into shape." - Marc Sims. :) -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 5:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Software: Windows 2000 Moves to the backburner At 11:05 AM 6/29/2005, MARC SIMS typed: >Speaking of the W2K SP4 rollout.. Sp4 came out in March 2003. This is Update Rollup 1 in other words many security updates all in one & while some may speculate that this is the last for W2k the fact that MSFT named it 1 leads me to believe there shall be a 2 & maybe a 3 but who knows as maybe they'll get lucky & won't need that many fixes. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
