Factoid of the Day: Microsoft Support Covers Windows Mobile Releases for 10 Years
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "SITES & RESOURCES" @ 03:00 PM
"Over the last few days I've had quite a few customers ask me for details around the support lifecycle of Windows Mobile 2003. Windows Mobile 2003 (both Pocket PC and Smartphone) move out of mainstream support on 14/7/2009 and Extended support will be retired 08/07/2014 so we basically provide a 10 year support lifecycle."
You can find the official Microsoft support page detailing these facts here! Of course, this has no bearing on when the OEMs decide to stop supporting your device and for many of the service packs that Microsoft releases, we're often dependent upon the OEMs help make those service packs compatible. Nevertheless, you may find this to an interesting fact to ponder upon as we head into the weekend! ;)
