FAQ Request-PE versions on what retired platforms?

Molotov,

Documentation on the back burner? It's reassuring to know I have at least one thing in common with top-notch developers...

Thanks again for your attention and responses.

Molotov,

Well, I was hoping for an enumeration by OS (or OS group), but thanks for updating the FAQ.

I *do* understand that the tools are "as is", and the reasons for retiring support for an old OS, although I can't help pointing out that Win2000 is still in extended support by MS through mid-2010.

FWIW, the PE help file is out of date with regard to supported OS platforms. The CHM bundled with PE v11.33 describes support for Win9x and WinNT4 & 2000 in the "Overview" topic (last paragraph). That is unfortunate, as I was hoping I could examine the CHMs from my old PE archives to determine if Win2000 was still supported. I would recommend updating the help file for the next release of PE (and maybe check the ones for other tools).

Hi Tom,

Sysinternals utilities are provided "as is".

Runs On in download box:

We only list back to XP on the client side and Windows Server 2003 on the server side, though our tools may still run on earlier operating systems.

The last version of Process Explorer that ran on NT4 was 11.11, if I recall.  More background on the reason here (in the context of Win9x, but NT4 applies similarly).
