Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it's officially ending all support for Windows Vista, effective immediately.

And almost no one will care, since all businesses are running Windows XP.

what about Windows 7? i use it for 4 years after my old one (40 GB) was broken and it was Windows XP. Win7 is not bad either since my current one is 80GB

anyways, glad that i never use Vista *evil laugh*

And...to tell you the truth, Windows Vista is the least-known member of the Windows family. Like that one second cousin (once removed) that keeps showing up at family reunions...but NOBODY ever remembers the name of. XD

nevermind

A lot of businesses went to 7 when extended support for XP ended. Offhand, I don't know if Microsoft will even support XP anymore if you pay them. But yeah, everybody skipped Vista if they could.

XP and 7 share the throne.

[Combusto Dragon]

yeah XP and 7 pwnd the Windows universe! except for the black sheep, Vista

But...soon(tm), that "throne" will be usurped by the new kid in town, Windows 10. Windows 8? That's the guy with one eye lower than the other locked in the basement whom you feed fish heads to every week. cough*gooniesreference*cough

I liked Vista. It felt like a real upgrade to XP.
