We’ve suspected for a long time that it was coming, but the loss still comes as a shock to the system. The good news is that mainstream support will continue until 2015 and extended support until 2020, so don’t panic and think you have to find an alternative right this minute.
In future articles, we’ll explore what those alternatives are and how to start thinking about a transition plan. In the meantime, be sure to read my eulogy for TMG in this month’s newsletter.
