Star Microsoft Extends Legacy Products Support
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 29th Aug 2006 21:24 UTC
Windows Microsoft is breathing more life into older versions of its products by offering businesses extended coverage for fixing security problems and bugs. Large companies running old favorites Windows NT 4.0, Exchange Server 5.5 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 can expect at least three more years of support from Microsoft after it decided to update the Custom Support Agreement program. There is even the suggestion support will go beyond three years.

I'd say that the "sweet spot" (if there is such a thing reagarding Windows) in terms of functionality, speed, and bloat factor was Windows 2000.

Changing the hardware configuration on an NT4 system usually meant reinstalling in my experience.
