Diskeeper15 (just announced) by Condusiv Does Not Support Vista
I've been using Diskeeper Professional for years as it's a great defragger, but was just advised by them that version 12 is the last one that will support Vista.
Now only Windows 7 and upwards.
That gives me yet another reason to upgrade this thing to 7, which I can do as I have a spare key for Ultimate.
(The other reason was MS's announcement recently that upgrades to 10 would be free for 7 and 8/8.1 users for a year after 10's release.)
Posting this in case anyone else receives a similar note from their software vendor. Vista's days are definitely numbered it would seem.
This came as quite a surprise to me considering that Windows basic defragmenter is made by them.

"Microsoft Extended support includes security updates which can break products but no Non-security updates which will often fix these.
Additionally, Extended support does not include consumer software.
We cannot support our new products under such circumstances."
