Microsoft Calls ‘End of Life’ on Windows Vista Operating System

What Does This Mean?

Windows Vista will be coming to the end of its product support lifecycle after completing five successful years. In other words, Microsoft will no longer be supporting Windows Vista, and all updates for this operating system will be completely stopped. Users of this operating system will be advised to upgrade their software to a more recent version prior to this end of life date.

Why Upgrade from Windows Vista?
