Support is ending for some versions of Windows, by David Bennie

Some service packs are coming to an end for Windows: 

  • Support for Windows Vista without any service packs will end on April 13, 2010.

  • Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) will end on July 13, 2010.*

If you're running one of these versions after support ends, you won't get security updates for Windows. To check which service pack you are running and to learn more about what this all means check out the details here.
