Is Windows Server 2000 Still Supported by Microsoft?
Contents

Microsoft has issued a reminder this week that it will stop providing support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 on July 13, 2010. After this date, public support for these products ends and Microsoft will no longer provide any assisted support or security updates.

What replaced Windows 2000?

Microsoft phased out all development of their Java Virtual Machine (JVM) from Windows 2000 in Service Pack 3. Windows 2000 has since been superseded by newer Microsoft operating systems. Microsoft replaced Windows 2000 Server products with Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Professional with Windows XP Professional.

Does Windows 2000 support 64 bit?

A. All current versions of Windows 2000 and Windows NT are 32-bit OSs (although Microsoft has made some enhancements to let Win2K and NT access more than 4GB of memory when used with an Intel Xeon processor, providing access to 64GB of memory).
