Windows 2000 Moves To The Back Burner

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo @ 4:21 pm

Microsoft on Tuesday issued what is expected to be its last significant revision of Windows 2000.

The software maker released what it calls an Update Rollup for the 5-year-old operating system, which is due to shift at the end of this month from receiving mainstream support to extended support. Microsoft does not generally add features to a product under extended support, and the Update Rollup is largely a collection of previously released patches as opposed to a batch of new features.

In addition to already released fixes, the collection “may contain fixes for non-public low- and moderate-level security issues that did not warrant individual security bulletins,” a Microsoft representative said.
