That's incorrect.

Windows 2003 server products are in the 'Extended Support' phase which
runs until July 2015

http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-gb&x=22&y=15&c2=1163

Until then security fixes are provided free, and hotfix support is
available if the customer pre-purchased an extended hotfix agreement.

It will no doubt be my misfortune to provide support long after that...
