Windows 2000, XP, XP SP2 End of support
As you may be aware, there are a number of Microsoft Windows versions which will go out of support during the coming year. We want to help customers avoid the risk of running unsupported products in their environment.
Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server are approaching 10 years since their launch and both products will go out of support on July 13, 2010.
Windows XP was launched back in 2001. While support for the product will continue, Service Pack 2 will go out of support on July 13, 2010. From that date onwards, Microsoft will no longer support or provide free security updates for Windows XP SP2. Please install the free Service Pack 3 for Windows XP to have the most secure and supported Windows XP platform.
Finally, Windows Vista with no Service Packs installed will end support on April 13 2010. Please install the free Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista to have the most secure and supported Windows Vista platform.

Bourne Leisure Just Got Mailscaped!!!
When it comes to leisure and recreation in the U.K., you only have to think of one name and they have you all covered! From resorts, holiday travel and luxury hotels, to recreational home sales and caravan parks, the Bourne Leisure Group and its subsidiary companies offer anything and everything you need to enjoy a holiday in the U.K.!
The Admin at Bourne Leisure first learned about Mailscape from MSExchange.org and contacted us to evaluate the product. Since they are located in the U.K., we sent the lead over to our friends at Essential. The IT staff at Bourne Leisure were tasked with evaluating monitoring and reporting tools since their Quest renewals were coming due and upper management wanted to look at other products on the market in an effort to save money. Besides being more affordable than Quest’s products, the Admin and his team instantly liked the graphical display of data via Mailscape’s One Look Dashboard and were impressed with the ease of installation. They were so pleased with the benefits they received immediately from Mailscape that they removed Quest’s products and installed Mailscape in their place. This sale represents a large win as Mailscape is protecting all 8 servers in the client’s environment.
ENow would like to give special thanks to James Moody of Essential Computing for all his efforts in closing this huge deal. We congratulate James on his hat trick (For those of you who don’t know what a hat trick is – it is a term used in hockey for when a player scores 3 goals in 1 game, and this represents his 3rd Mailscape sale, so we all tip our hats to you, James!)
