Unsupported”, has been added to the “Patches for Windows”
sites (for all Windows OS languages), to detect computers in your network that
are running a version of Windows that is no longer supported by Microsoft.
Unsupported Microsoft products may contain security vulnerabilities that BES
Patch Management will not detect (because Microsoft no longer publishes patches
for these products). These computers should be upgraded to a supported version
as soon as possible to ensure newly discovered vulnerabilities are reported.
More information can be found in the “Microsoft Unsupported” Fixlet
messages. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
