My team developed hundreds of applications and modules using the .NET 2.0 Framework. This was supported by Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 (which actually supports mixed pools of frameworks).
Will Microsoft stop supporting .NET 2.0 in the next version of Windows Server?
Support for .NET 2.0 is slated to be discontinued on 4/12/2011, and extended support will be discontinued in on 4/12/2016. If they don’t extend it.
They also released a press release on this topic titled “Microsoft .NET Framework Support Lifecycle Policy“.
The difference between mainstream support and extended support is outlined here.
So .NET will probably physically run on future servers, but there won’t be support if something goes wrong.
