Windows Vista Enters Extended Support

yuhong writes "On April 10, the second Tuesday of April, Windows Vista will exit Mainstream Support and enter Extended Support. This means that no-charge (free) support will end, no further service packs will be created, nor will future IE versions (such as IE10) be available for Vista. Also, no new non-security hotfixes will be created or be available without an Extended Hotfix Support Agreement (EHSA). This will last for 5 years before support for Vista completely ends in 2017."

      Why you little...! You'd better start using Gamemaker before you truly make my cheeks boil as such never before! Clones such as you need to return to Gamemakerdom right this minuteness and stop spreading such misinformation!

      Until IE5.5 crashes trying to render www.slashdot.org, that is.

      Btw why the heck is slashdot a .org? Did geeknet become nonprofit when I wasnt watching?

    What's your problem? Do you have something against Gamemaker?

    Did you just suggest that every True Programmer shouldn't use Gamemaker?
