Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 Is Now in Extended Support

Posted: March 20, 2003

Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has now entered the Extended Support phase of the Windows Desktop Product Life—Cycle Policies.

When a version of Internet Explorer enters the Extended Support phase, this means the browser version will no longer be available to download, but will continue to receive no-charge security updates until the end of the Extended Support period.

For Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2, the end of the no-charge support period is December 31, 2003. Security updates will continue to be available to current Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 users until the end of this no-charge support period.

To find out how long Microsoft plans to make assisted support offerings available for each version of Internet Explorer, you can use the Internet Explorer Life-Cycle Wizard.

Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 is available for Windows Millennium users.

Upgrade to the Latest Version

For customers looking to upgrade their browser, we highly encourage you to download Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This is our latest and most secure browser available.
