Microsoft has granted additional time so that corporate users can make the necessary transition.
eWeek Article: Microsoft Extends SUS 1.0 Support to July 2007QUOTE: The Redmond, Wash., company was all set to retire the patch distribution software on Dec. 6, 2006, but after listening to what it is described as "customer feedback," Microsoft has extended support for SUS 1.0 for another seven months. The extension means that IT managers have until July 10, 2007, to migrate to WSUS (Windows Server Update Services), the new enterprise patch-management platform currently being beta tested. Microsoft released WSUS to manufacturing in June 2005 and has spent the last few years prodding users to upgrade, but, for a myriad of reasons, patch management administrators have struggled to migrate.
