Windows 2000 Finale

Micro$oft has recently announced that as early as next week , the LONG awaited security update rollup for Windows 2000 would be released.

The Update Rollup, which replaces Windows 2000 SP5 (Service Pack 5), is a cumulative set of hot fixes, security patches and critical updates packaged together for easy deployment.

The Update Rollup comes just one month before mainstream support for Windows 2000 client and server releases expires on June 30. Micro$oft divides its support lifecycle into two phases: mainstream and extended. Once a product enters the extended support period, Micro$oft charges for support.

So , Here it comes the final awaited finale of Windows 2000. I'm sure we'd see a lot corporates who are stuck with a Windows 2000 Server , and with no updates, being victims of "new" hacking tricks.
