1 Support is ongoing. End dates and releases could still change

2 Exact date unknown

3 Technical support continued during the lifetime of the product, however only on a pay-per-incident basis without public patches and software updates. Thus, assuming the end date to be the date of the last Service Pack or the discontinuation announcement, whichever is later.

4 Support continued or continues as a subset of a newer architecture or revision. For example, x86-64 CPUs can run x86 16-bit and 32-bit code and ARM64 CPUs can run ARM32 code.
