Re: V5R3 and Hardware Requirements - iSeries Access Support

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this is Microsofts site for their support on these products.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.mspx
Pretty confusing till u get to the chart at bottom with actual dates in it.
It looks like MS sets the limit at 5 years after introduction for fixes.
IBM has said before (somewhere) that they won't support a windows
product where MS does not support the win OS. I'm not sure this is
true in all cases.
