2007 disaster patch

Extended support for legacy products (from 2007 to down)
Microsoft originally wanted to set the date to end all of the remaining old products from Windows 5.1 and older legacy products (or 2007 releases and down) to completely, lose its support on January 2, 2005. But, due to a lack of upgrades and demands Microsoft has pushed the date for all of the operating systems and legacy products from Windows 5.1 (or 2007 release and down) and below to end on it's support cycle on March 19, 2007. But, as an another extra help from Microsoft that they have put out it is that you can still receive product updates or get to upgrade until March 20, 2007. But, Windows X.XX Server is a completely build and remains differently put as enterprise so it's support date isn't going to be changed for releases before 2007. Some Pre-Hybrid operating systems which has caused bugs while it has a date limit problem Microsoft also threw an affect against it being cut off of support also, on March 19, 2007 but, March 20, 2007 is still usable for upgrades and etc.

Mainstream support ends for Windows 3.2 and down
On June 13, 2003, Microsoft putted out a press release for legacy products from Windows 3.2 and down to end officially on October 31, 2004. But, for the extended date was planned to be pushed until a year later 2005 but, for this issue please read on top. .
