When Vista SP2 will stop receiving the normal Windows updates.

It was mentioned in another thread that Vista (I guess that SP2) reaches the end of mainstream support in April.

I have seen this document,

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle#section_2

which suggests to me normal stop support (Windows updates) in April.

Could you clarify it please exactly what it means for a 'regular' customer with a preinstalled copy of Vista or someone who installed it themselves via a disc OEM etc.

This means that Windows Update will cease to provide patches, etc from April this year for Vista SP2?

Thank you...

Hi Mooly,

Updates will still be available after April, there will be always some support for updates of security which are sent to the bottom of the Windows Update. According to article http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy
