3 - WINREDUCER SERIES - v4.x.x.x :
In June 2021, 6 years after the official release of all WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" software ... all your software will begin to evolve to become one entity : "WinReducer Series".
All software and categories will be entirely reworked with major changes (new design, new U.I., new U.X., new removing engine, new functionalities, ...), and will be regrouped by themes (one software for one theme) :
- ES-Series : acronym for "Easy and Simple" software, to achieve easy tasks with a high level of efficiency
- EX-Series : acronym for "Expert" software, with all options to create your WinReduced 7, 8.1 and 10 ISO (Windows 8.0 will not be supported)
- MM-Series : acronym for "Multimedia" software, with all options for reading and converting, all audio and video files using a Media Center graphical user interface
- PR-Series : acronym for "Professional" software, with all options to create your WinReduced 10 and Server ISO, as well as your MS Office ISO
- ... more will be available in the future !
==> All these new "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" software will introduce a new software architecture which will be available with WinReducerOS : the modular architecture named "WinReducerOS Modules" based on the WinReducerOS core !
==> All valid serial numbers from WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" v1.x.x.x, v2.x.x.x and v3.x.x.x will be still valid with "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" according to the information which will be available in the WinReducerOS website (not yet available).

The countdown is started for all these WinReducer Software for both the Limited Support (L.S.), the End Of Support (E.O.S.) and the End Of Life (E.O.L.) :

==> Be careful, the development of all functionalities introduced in these software will continue to evolve in the new "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" development branch, they will be simply reorganized differently ! Only the software naming will not be used anymore.

5 - WINREDUCER.NET VIP MEMBER AREA
After 9 years, the VIP Member Area will be stopped on 05 October 2021 because the VIP versions will be available differently in both "WinReducerOS" and "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" software. And as mentioned in point 4 of this schedule, all valid serial numbers will be supported by the "WinReducer Series - v4.x.x.x" software and according to the information which will be available in the WinReducerOS website (not yet available).
==> if you are a WinReducer.net VIP Member a dedicated "VIP News" information will be available soon to inform you precisely how it will be done.

6 - WINREDUCER.NET WEBSITE
The WinReducer.net website will be updated to v10.0.0.0 on 05 October 2021. And for the record, the 05 October 2022 will be the 10th birthday of the WinReducer Project official website !

7 - WINREDUCER.NET FORUM
The WinReducer.net Forum will continue to be available and used as usual.

8 - FINAL WORDS :
For those of you, you are already following the WinReducerOS Website and Forum, you know that I'm late about the WinReducerOS development, so this WinReducer Series schedule may evolve (or not) in the future depending on many factors.

I really want to THANKS all of you for your patience and respect during these long months, I'm doing my best to provide the most wonderful and innovative experience for our Windows customization passion !

I wish you to have a nice day and stay safe !
