They really mean it this time ...
Support for all NT4 software will definitely end later this year - with no more extensions, according to Microsoft.
NT4 Enterprise Edition will be supported until 30 June and NT4 Server until 31 December. Microsoft has already extended the support life of NT4 twice.
"We"ll upset more customers by extending than we would by cancelling support," said Bruce Lynn, business group leader for Microsoft"s UK server division.
"I"ve seen so many internal emails on this, it"s a big source of debate. But if we don"t stick to the support dates we gave last time the cost to our reputation would be great.
