Microsoft Cuts Off Windows NT Workstation Help. http://www.internetweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=10810468 Nathan H.O.
So Microsoft is sticking to its guns to phase out the old OS. I am sad to see the demise of one of the good OS in the market which brought a recolution of client server computing in the market. But as we sat, every cloud has silver lining, this means an end to era of one of the most vulnerable and insecure system as well. I wonder when they'll phase out the SQL Server 6.5. Or (pardon my ignorance) they have done already? Gaurav
Yeah, 6.5 is out of picture now. Officially twas last year, but since March 2003 no more calls or help related to 6.5 version. We should depend on the available KBAs and other information. This aspect of shutting down help for good old application by MS is distressing. _________ Satya SKJ Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.Com
I think this is not that bad even. They have been supporting SQL server 6.5 even 5 years after the next version was relased. Supporting 3 different versions of a software is definately difficult. Also when it comes to OS, as soon as u find a flaw in the OS, u'll have to relase patch for all the versions. But I beleive all these problems arise due to next versions coming in pretty soon. Gaurav
When Yukon and "Visual Studio for Yukon" are ready I won't be surprised to hear that Windows 2000 will slowly start getting phased out. The whole .NET thing will kill W2K. Nathan H.O.
