Hi,

According to http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=forefront+identity+manager&Filter=FilterNO, mainstream support for FIM 2010 R2 SP1 ends on 7/14/2015. While extended support ends on 7/14/2020.

So...

1. Is Microsoft planning to release SP2 for FIM 2010 R2?
2. If not, then MIM 2015 has to RTM before 7/14/2015?

And unless you have Extended Support, you shouldn't even consider FIM 2010 R2 at this stage?

So what about customers that are currently planning/testing to deploy FIM in the middle of 2015? Should they continue working with FIM or rather develop/test on MIM?

Comments?
