Microsoft removes some products from the market
Looks like Microsoft will stop offering a number of products from January 2nd.
Microsoft Corp. will stop distributing several older products next week as a result of a legal settlement with Sun Microsystems Inc. in a dispute over Java, Microsoft said.
Among the products that Microsoft will cut from its distribution channels on Dec. 15 are all versions of Windows 98 except Windows 98 Second Edition; Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition; all Office 2000 editions; Office XP Developer edition and SQL Server 7, Tony Goodhew, a product manager in Microsoft’s developer division, said Monday.
Not sure how this would affect systems which we sell with Small Business Server 2000, but use the downgrade rights to SBS 4.5 instead.
