An official alert was put out by the US Department of Homeland Security that could affect up to 12 million physical servers all across the world. This alert has spoken of the negative consequences to businesses if they don’t upgrade their Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems on July 14, 2015 or sooner.
After this date, the product won’t receive security patches anymore which help protect computers from spyware, harmful viruses and other malicious software. Any assisted technical support from Microsoft and content and software updates will also no longer be available.
Further Explanation
Typically, mainstream support is a five-year period where Microsoft will offer free fixes and patches, which includes but is not limited to security updates for its products. After this phase of mainstream support, Microsoft will keep offering a five year period of extended support, meaning users will get free security fixes, but other kinds of updates cost and need specific licensing deals.
End of support means that for the specific products, there will be no more patches or fixes, whether free or paid, non-security or security available.
