Be aware that, for some older versions of Windows, support will cease this year. As always, help and support will be available across the various technical support forums but the official Microsoft support will disappear.
Windows versions affected are:
Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server (launched in 2000) - support ceases on July 13, 2010.
Windows XP (no Service Packs) and Windows XP SP2 - support ceases on July 13, 2010.
Windows Vista (no Service Packs) - support ceases on April 13, 2010.
For Windows XP and Windows Vista, support remains provided these operating systems are upgraded to the latest Service Pack (which, from a security point of view, should be done as a matter of course). These Service Packs can be downloaded free from the Microsoft site:
Windows XP SP3
Windows Vista SP2
If you require assistance installing Service Packs you are more than welcome to ask at SpywareHammer or TechSupportForum where the volunteers will be happy to run through the process with you.
