Is SQL Server 2008 going to be obsolete "soon"? I was thinking about it today. We are in 2015. Close to SQL Server 2016, but almost every company I see, is still using SQL Server 2008 R2.

I'm studying SQL Server 2008, 2012 and now, 2014  (5 months school). 

My main focus now is SQL Server 2008, because I'm currently working with it, but, should I be worried about it? It would be better to start to focus on SQL Server 2012+?

My company don't even think about an update. We have a lot of software here, and we have 0 problems. And I think, even with 0 problems, is there a need to update?

One good blog I read:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Editorial/116525/
Here's everything you need to know about Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy and from here you can search for specific products lifecycle information. Specific for 2008 family here.

Interestingly enough it was announced on the 18th of July this year that SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 4 update is to be supported until 7/9/2019.
