Microsoft is kindly reminding its customers that there will no longer be security updates for certain products and service packs so that it is extremely urgent for customers to move to a supported platform by the dates stated below:
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 will no longer be supported after July 13, 2010. Many customers are still on this version, so we encourage upgrading to Service Pack 3 or to Windows 7 as soon as possible.
- Extended support for Windows 2000 will also be retired as of July 13, 2010. After that time, we will no longer provide security or any other updates for Windows 2000.
- Windows Vista RTM (“Release To Manufacturing”, meaning the original release of Windows Vista, without any Service Pack installed) will no longer be supported after the April 13, 2010 bulletin release. Service Pack 1 will still be supported until July 12, 2011 but we recommend customers update to Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 at this time.
For help with the installation of these Service Packs and/or with the migration to a more current operating system or to have one of our PC specialists review the current status of your computer, contact us today.
