Hi all,

in the left pane there is an important information about Microsoft Enterprise Support with regards of Microsoft OS.

Read all from Microsoft site

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/products/windows-7/end-of-support.aspx

As Microsoft has announced in 2008, support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) will end on July 13, 2010. Support for Windows 2000 will end on the same date. Support for Windows Vista Release to Manufacturing (RTM) will end on April 13, 2010.

Customers running an unsupported version of Windows or service pack will not be eligible for any of our support options. Updates, including security updates released with bulletins from the Microsoft Security Response Center, will be reviewed and built for the supported versions and service packs only. The most current service packs are available to organizations, and they are easily deployed via Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services/Microsoft System Center, and the Microsoft Download Center.

Windows 7 will be available in time for the holiday season. The Windows team announced today on the Windows Blog that Windows 7 will be in stores beginning October 22nd.

Another important date: The Windows team anticipates RTM code for Windows 7 in the second half of July, and RTM code for Windows Server 2008 R2 available in this time frame as well.
