Windows Vista Enters Extended Support

Posted by timothy on from the call-up-the-relatives dept.

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."

    Also, nobody uses Vista anyways. It's either XP or Win7 all the way.

    Who exactly do you think I am? I'm someone who dances with my bootyass as I please like corn on peas! You have no chance of standing up to my true ferocity!

    So why not just switch to Gamemaker!? It is futile to lie to yourself by denying Gamemaker's true greatness. Return to Gamemakerdom right this minuteness!

    Windows 2000 added the "not a complete piece of shit" feature.
