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."

Crap!

I don't know why the above is rated -1. It's certainly more interesting than TFA.

True, but in this case everyone except MicroEquus, is in the business of using horses. Some of them are employed as brewery horses, others are employed as race horses, but as long as they work fine, there is no need from horses from MicroEquus.

You can of course switch to the free Llamas, but they're so unfamiliar.

Oh no!

I've been dreading the day I'd have to leave Vista behind!

I think it's just Microsoft being dicks back then.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
