Valuewalk.com - Microsoft made the official announcement early this month. The company also announced it was ending support for Windows Server 2003 and Office 2010. The personal computer operating system maker generally offers mainstream support for five years after the release. This includes feature updates, security updates, and performance enhancements. Beyond that period, Microsoft extends support which may include free security fixes however customers still have to pay for other types of updates.
Support for Windows 7 will end on January 13, 2015 but Microsoft will still offer free security patches until 2020. Microsoft will end support for Windows 8.X on January 2018. These cut-off dates effect potential PC buyers who find themselves tempted to wait for April 2015 when the next operating system release Threshold debuts.
In January, Microsoft will also drop support for Windows Server 2008/ 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2010, NAV 2009, NAV 2009 R2, Dynamics C5 2010, and Windows Storage Server 2008. Within the next few months, Microsoft will drop support for Windows Phone 7.8 mainstream support.
