They're actually waiting for the roll-up to hit the streets before they advance. It is going modular like other versions of the proggie.

On some russian web sources i read microsoft do not prepare build sp5 at all. They will build rollup package of post sp4 or something like this in this summer.

I guess M$ is really taking it's sweet little time with this1, since there's almost no commercial benefit from W2k.

GOD **** CAPITALISTS

I do believe this is old news. We've known 4 some time now that M$ won't release W2k SP5

We get free security hotfixes through March 31, 2010. Non-security hotfixes and support have to be paid for after June 30, 2005 (link).

There's no plans for a Windows 2000 Service Pack 5 (well, not officially, at least... the Hotstream project looks really promising), but Microsoft is expected to roll out an update rollup pack "soon". (link).

(I guess you could call this my Update Rollup Pack of information about Windows 2000 updates... )
