Does anyone know when MS is going to stop supporting NT 4.0?

Hi Villy,

THEY HAVE :-(

Effective 31 December 2004, ALL NT4.0 support ceased, WITH THE EXCEPTION of
specialised contract support, which is available (for payment of, I'm sure a NOT
small, fee quarterly) till the end of 2006. Workstation actually got cut loose
on 30 June 2004 - a Microsoft commercial decision that I think is reprehensible !

Microsoft have stated that the Knowledgebase articles relating to NT4.0 will
continue to be available online till the end of 2006.

We have now entered the brave new world of Self-Help. This, and other newsgroups
related, along with privately run websites will now become the new centres of
excellence and knowledge for this OS.

My small contribution is at: http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au - move content coming
soon I hope !

Calvin.
