Has SharePoint 2007 SP3 really reached end of life?
Question
Is SharePoint 2007 as a product and SP3 end-of-life? This link of Microsoft Support Lifecycle seems to suggest so, but there are usually "extended extended support" options for paying customers.
Solution
There should still be extended support available to companies. I actually still have clients that have paid support for Portal Server 2003. With that said, at some point it becomes cost prohibitive and I would suggest you make every effort to start planning for an upgrade.
OTHER TIPS
There is a good description of the effects of the end of Mainstream support on MSDN Blogs. Summary
- Free support for Enterprise Agreements is over
- Don't expect any updates unless you paid for support last year and can prove it's a security vulnerability
- You must be on Service Pack 3 to receive extended support
