Interesting one this week, what with NT 3.5x and NT4 being phased out in 2004 completely with NT3.5x at the grand old age of 8 with NT4 to follow in 2004 at 8. Also a follow-up and a chance to bite back at the DOJ/MS Antitrust settlement (or praise them, whatever you fancy) with a contact address.
Windows NT Server 4.0 on the Way Out
Microsoft has announced that support for Windows NT Server 4.0, its aging enterprise-class OS, will be phased out beginning January 1, 2003, when customers will be unable to get free hot fixes. Then, on January 1, 2004, NT 4 hot fixes will cease to be made available altogether and the company will stop supporting the product. Interestingly, Microsoft will cease support for the older NT 3.5x Server products at the end of the year. Is there anyone out there still running NT 3.5x?
Write the DOJ to Comment on MS/DOJ Settlement
I've gotten a number of requests from readers both for and against the company's proposed antitrust case settlement about how they can contact the US Department of
Justice (DOJ) during the 60 day public feedback phase. Due to various problems with snail mail, the agency prefers email, which can be sent to microsoft.atr@usdoj.gov. But if you'd like to write the DOJ a more traditional letter, here's the address:
To: Renata B. Hesse
Antitrust Division
U.S. Department of Justice
601 D Street NW
Suite 1200
Washington, DC 20530-0001
