Will there still be critical updates for Windows 2000 after this month?

MS site said that support for Windows 2000 is terminating.
Does that include Windows 2000 pro and all critical security updates?

I wouldn't go and download all patches at this moment
All which is on the MS website, will remain there, no need for a "download
rush"

I don't know which MS site you're referencing, but the one I've cited below
states that the Windows 2000 product family is in the Extended Support phase,
which continues through June 2010.

An excerpt from the referenced page also states the following:. "Microsoft is
not ending support for Windows 2000. During the Extended Support phase,
Microsoft continues to provide security hot fixes and paid support but no longer
provides complimentary support options, design change requests, and non-security
hotfixes."

Yes there will still be critical updates for Windows 2000 after this
month. There will be security updates until about 2009, or sometimes
thereabouts. There is no need to "rush" to any non Microsoft web sites
to get these updates.
