The clock is ticking: the End of Support for Windows Server 2003, #WS2003EOS, arrives this July, as in four months from now. This means there will be no more patches or security updates and your applications and business will be at risk. New threats won’t be addressed and WS2003 systems will be a security risk and compliance nightmare. Especially for those in heavily regulated industries — pharmaceuticals, banking/finance and insurance, as well as any company that processes credit card transactions — this will cause a heavy compliance burden and could put you at risk of accruing penalties and fines.
