I can't get any sense from the MS website about this. Does anybody know? I
don't need to call tech support, I'm mainly concerned with online support
and updates.

I heard on the radio that Vista isn't gonna be used everywhere for a
while, and that it shouldnt be used JUST YET for large bussinesses,
but MS will announce it when it stops providing support.

Poking around on Microsoft's Knowledge Base, it appears that support
in the form security updates will last until at least late 2011.

Also, between Microsoft and Google, it looks like SP3 for XP may be
released in the first half of 2008. Support for SP2 would continue for
1 to 2 years from that date. My thoughts are it will depend on how
well Vista is accepted by the public and by large corporations. My
personal thoughts are that it will be supported beyond 2011, but that
may just be wishful thinking on my part.
