End of Life:
Microsoft support has two phases- Mainstream and Extended support.
In Mainstream support, MS provides feature patches/updates , technical support and security hotfixes.
In Extended support, MS no longer provides feature patches/updates and provides only technical
support and security hotfixes.
Finally, once a product reaches end of extended support, MS no longer provide technical support or
hotfixes.
