Clock Is Ticking for Windows 2000 Users

By

For Microsoft, it’s in with the new and out with the old; well at least when it comes to operating systems that is. Apparently there will be no Service Pack 5 for Windows 2000 users.

Late last year, Microsoft said it planned to provide a primarily security-focused “update rollup” for Windows 2000 in lieu of issuing a Service Pack 5 for the product. Microsoft officials said the rollup is on track for delivery in mid-2005, but declined to provide further information on the beta stage that the rollup is in. The rollup will require Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 as a prerequisite.

The spokeswoman would not comment on whether the rollup will be available before June 30 or not.
