Apparently now that they’ve gotten the hint that everybody does indeed hate Vista with an unbridled passion, Microsoft is now turning an about face and seemingly admitting that they will support XP for the next few years. C-Net is reporting that while thorough technical support for the aging OS will be available through next year, limited support and updates will continue until at least April of 2014.

With the latest news of Windows 7 reportedly being on the way, it might be possible for users to completely advoid Vista until that time. In fact, Windows 7 could arrive much faster than initially anticipated, with Bill Gates himself recently admitting that it could hit shelves in 2010 or even next year in 2009.

We admit. Most of us here at Nightly hate Vista. If you unfortunately must run Vista, feel free to ramble on in negativity with us in this thread in our Sci / Tech
