NT4 has been out of support for years now and win2K in 2010
does that mean my NT4 or 2K boxes just died when support ended
no it means I take then down following the last month of support
do a fresh install get all updates installed and the system configured
then take one last base image for restore at any time in the future

my (now 18 year old) win3.1 boxes didn't die either when support ended over 10 years ago and they still run fine

XP will not just "Die" in 2014

I'm still doing rebuilds with custom configs on old XP boxes
for those who can't afford or justify spending for new boxes
