2017-04-11
hasta LaVista vista windows vista is finally dead Microsoft will no longer and gave the 10 year old operating system any security updates or fixes there won't even be the option to pay for extended support poor Vista was never loved as much as Microsoft's other children you see when the operating system first launched in January of 2007 it was the first big update since Windows XP and people thought it looked pretty nifty with Windows that had this frosted glass style transparency and there was this Aero theme that required a good graphics card because it was visually complex and it was a bit unnecessary because it left your computer feeling slow and bloated if it didn't have the latest and fastest hardware not to mention updating broke a lot of software because it wasn't compatible with everything so workplace IT departments were not upgrading to the new OS and they just skipped over Vista and jumped to Windows 7 after a few years there's hardly anyone still using Vista according to net market share only a measly 0.7% of PCs online are using Vista compare that to 7% that are still on Windows XP and 50% using Windows 7 now Microsoft suggests that if you still use Vista it's probably time for you to buy a new computer good advice Microsoft good advice I'm Richard Carey and for you Vista users that need advice on what new computer to buy because dang it's been 10 years and you have some catching up to do Hennessey Netcom
