Microsoft will end support for Vista SP1 in July 12


Microsoft have announced that they will be ending support for Windows Vista SP1 in July 12th. Which means, if you are still running on Vista and on Service Pack 1 you need to update/upgrade to Vista Service Pack 2 to still get security updates and whatnots via Windows Update. 

"Windows Vista users must upgrade their Service Pack to continue to be eligible for Mainstream Support on Windows Vista. Once support ends for Windows Vista SP1, users who have not upgraded to a support service pack will not have access to new security updates, non-security hotfixes, or the option to engage Microsoft product development resources."
That's what they said so for those who are still running on Windows Vista SP1 better update your OS to Vista SP2.

Vista is touted to be Microsoft's most unstable version of Windows. Personally, Vista is a bit on the heavy side compared to Windows 7. But thanks to Vista, Windows 7 is what it is today because of Vista.
