Support milestones

Milestone Date Add to calendar
Released May 6, 2008
Mainstream support ended Jan 13, 2015
Extended support ended Jan 14, 2020
Extended Security Updates ended Paid Extended Security Updates: security fixes only, no new features and no non-security fixes. Coverage runs to this date. Jan 9, 2024

Microsoft publishes Extended Security Updates as one row per program year and this dataset records the final coverage date rather than each year's own window, so the individual ESU years aren't broken out here.
