Microsoft, Product Support Lifecycle Policy is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy The Support Lifecycle for Vista is here: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecyc...3&y=7&p1=11707 There may be some minor variations, depending on the exact edition of Vista, and which country you are located in. Hope it helps, Andrew -- amclar at optusnet dot com dot au |

The Home editions, including Ultimate, go completely out of support on that date. Business and Enterprise will, however, receive five years of extended support, ending in 2017. |

What is your issue with them? I don't call it and don't plan to. The issue is with the major problems in Vista that they have chosen to ignore and not provide software updates to resolve. Well... to be more accurate, they haven't ignored them, they know all about them and have fixed them in Windows 7 and let them ride in Vista. |
