Microsoft slams coffin lid on Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has killed support for its unloved
| Windows Vista operating system today.
|
| The company announced in February that the
| service pack-free version of its post-XP,
| pre-Windows 7 OS would hit end of life
| support in April.
|
| This means that from today, the OS which hit
| manufacturers in late 2006 is left entirely
| at the mercy of hackers who might wish to
| exploit the now unsupported code.
