2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (sp3)

[Shanel Arrendell]

MicrosoftOffice 2000 (version 9.0) is a release of Microsoft Office, an office suite developed and distributed by Microsoft for the Windows family of operating systems. Office 2000 was released to manufacturing on March 29, 1999,[1] and was made available to retail on June 7, 1999.[5] A Mac OS equivalent, Microsoft Office 2001, was released on October 11, 2000.

Microsoft released three service packs for Office 2000 throughout its life cycle. The first update was called Service Release 1 (SR-1), while subsequent updates were referred to as service packs.[2] Support for Office 2000 ended on July 14, 2009.[7]

New features in Office 2000 include HTML document creation and publishing, Internet collaboration features such as integration with NetMeeting, roaming user profile support, COM add-in support; an updated version of the Office Assistant that utilizes Microsoft Agent, improved compliance with the year 2000, and interface improvements including personalized menus and toolbars that omit infrequently used commands from view. Office 2000 introduces PhotoDraw, a raster and vector imaging program, as well as Web Components. It is also the first version of Office to use Windows Installer for the installation process.[8] It also comes with Internet Explorer 5 and uses its technologies as well.[9]

Microsoft released five main editions of Office 2000 globally: Standard, Small Business, Professional, Premium, and Developer.[10] An additional Personal edition with Word, Excel, and Outlook exclusive to Japan was also released.[11] A similar Basic edition would later be released for Office 2003 to all markets.[12]

All retail editions sold in Australia, Brazil, China, France, and New Zealand, as well as academic copies sold in Canada and the United States, required the user to activate the product via the Internet.[13] Microsoft extended this requirement to retail editions sold in Canada and the United States with the availability of Office 2000 Service Release 1.[14][15] Product activation would become a requirement for all editions of Office from Office XP onward.

All software products have a lifecycle. End of support refers to the date when Microsoft no longer provides automatic fixes, updates, or online technical assistance. [2] As of February 2014, nearly 30 percent of Internet-connected PCs still run Windows XP. [3]

Computers operating Windows XP with SP3 or running Office 2003 products will continue to work after support ends. However, using unsupported software may increase the risk of viruses and other security threats.

There are software vendors and service providers in the marketplace who offer assistance in migrating from Windows XP or Office 2003 to a currently supported operating system or office productivity suite. US-CERT does not endorse or support any particular product or vendor.

Users who choose to continue using Windows XP after the end of support may mitigate some risks by using a web browser other than Internet Explorer. The Windows XP versions of some alternative browsers will continue to receive support temporarily. Users should consult the support pages of their chosen alternative browser for more details.
