I am trying to determine the support lifecycle for the following Windows Essentials products:
- Photo Gallery
- Movie Maker
I have tried to find this information at:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/lifecycle
but I cannot find any entries for these products (have I missed them?).
I am aware that Photo Gallery depends on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.
There is an entry for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition in the lifecycle database - it has now passed its Extended Support End Date and is flagged by Secunia PSI as insecure ('Hackers are currently exploiting this on the Internet to gain full control
of PCs').
I have therefore removed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from my PC.
However I still have Photo Gallery and Movie Maker installed (Photo Gallery no longer works as it depends on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition).
I now want to know when Microsoft will stop providing security updates for Photo Gallery and Movie Maker (or have they stopped already?)
Where can I find this important information?
