Matthew writes: In keeping with their policy shortening of the supported life of their various obsolete operating systems, Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 2003 Server will be deprecated as of April 1st, 2003 (which, coincidentally, is its projected ship date).
“We’ve seen the handwriting on the wall. Linux is going to eat us for lunch, and we don’t see much reason to keep supporting these legacy operating systems while the rest of the world jumps on the Linux bandwagon. We played the software monopoly game, and the hackers figured out how to beat us.”
“Rather than continuing to pour our support and development efforts into the black hole called Windows, we’re going to go back to the drawing boards and find another market to dominate, while we’ve still got the cash to do it.
