Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / November 2006Why Microsoft refuse to further support W2K
There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. Isn't that illegal? Why would it be illegal? | There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. | Isn't that illegal? Troll? Isn't that what your mother raised? > Why would it be illegal? > > | There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. > | Isn't that illegal? > There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. > Isn't that illegal? There is no legal basis to require support, so how could it be illegal?!?!? >> There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. >> Isn't that illegal? > >There is no legal basis to require support, so how could it be illegal?!?!? Moreover, it's a Good Thing! Instead of offering XP eye candy to W2K, I would prefer solution to these random, but apparently too often update problems... /KH Check out the following: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/news/bulletins/extend edsupport.mspx Exerpt from that page: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Overview . On June 30, 2005, the Windows 2000 product family enters the Extended Support phase, which continues for at least 5 years through June 2010. . Microsoft offers a minimum of 10 years' support (5 years Mainstream plus 5 years Extended) for business and developer products. The Microsoft support life-cycle policy provides predictable coverage of Microsoft products and continues to set the standard for product support policies industry-wide. . Microsoft is not ending support for Windows 2000. During the Extended Support phase, Microsoft continues to provide security hot fixes and paid support but no longer provides complimentary support options, design change requests, and non-security hotfixes.* Note: The Update Rollup for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is the final release of Windows 2000. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * And also http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/ (referred to in the exerpt above) The levels of support have changed, but MS is still supporting 2000. > There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. > Isn't that illegal? That's not true. Microsoft recent newer softwares such as IE7 and Win Media Player 11 will not install in W2K. I think is is illegal when company announce it support but non of the recent released components are upgradeable other than a minor security patches. > Check out the following:http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/evaluation/news/bulletins... > edsupport.mspx [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > There's no IE7 and Mediaplayer10. > > Isn't that illegal? I doesn't much matter what you think. The fact is that it's perfectly legal to discontinue support for an operating system -- or any software, for that matter -- at any time so lomng as the company has not violated any contractural obigations. Since you have no contract, there's no possibility of such violation. "Support" means precisely what Microsoft says it means, not what you would like it to mean. > That's not true.

You need to learn a little bit more about what extended support phase means. and 2. You need to learn what the meaning of illegal is. > That's not true.

Just noticed that line-wrapping breaks the link in half - make sure the URL you go to includes the "edsupport.mspx" that is on the line below the active hyperlink.
