(hopefully I got these to look right as dumb text)...


Product Name                  Mainstream Support  Extended Support
Windows 2000 Advanced Server  30-Jun-2005         30-Jun-2010

Windows 2000 Pro              30-Jun-2005         30-Jun-2010

The two dates are the retirement dates for Mainstream and Extended 
support.  So, mainstream support for all Win2K versions ends in 7
months...
