ArcGIS Product Life Cycle
I see ESRI has just released new documentation outlining the Product Life Cycle of various products.
Server Products:
ArcGIS Server Product Life Cycle – ArcGIS Server Product Life Cycle
Developer Products:
ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit Product Life Cycle – ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit Product Life Cycle
ArcGIS Engine Runtime Product Life Cycle – ArcGIS Engine Runtime Product Life Cycle
I see support for ArcGIS Server 9.0 and 9.01 has been moved into the Extended Support catergory. By 9.2 this should then be moved into Mature Support. Most developers nowadays should really be using 9.1 due to the number of fixes and updates since 9.0 and 9.01. Makes it hard to maintain and troubleshoot problems when you are on the older versions.
