Windows XP Sp1 support dropped (6.2) - why?

[ben_]

Does anybody know, why the support for Windows XP SP1 is dropped in IVE OS 6.2?

I experienced it first as a user accessed our testsystem running that OS and SVW did not work properly anymore. But not for SVW the Windows XP SP1 support is dropped, also for _all_ features according to the supported platform docs. In 6.1 XP SP1 was still supported. :-\

The much older Win2k SP4 is still supported.

I already asked the support guy but anyway I just wanted to ask / inform you

Windows 2000 SP4 is still officially supported by Microsoft, Windows XP SP1 is not - SP2 is now the baseline for support.

Sounds like Juniper is following Microsoft's lead.

Hmm this explanation would make sense...
