There is no doubt that Windows XP has been and will continue to be one of the best operating systems that Microsoft has released in recent years. To this day and when officially it no longer receives support, except for companies and governments that have had to hire it, it continues to be present in 10% of all computers in the world, a very high quota for an operating system that is about to turn 16, there is nothing. However, its successor, Windows Vista, went unnoticed by many computers, as its slow performance and high requirements forced users to stick with XP.
Five years ago, in 2012, five years after its launch, the Redmond-based company announced the date on which Windows Vista, which had lasted two years on the market, would stop receiving support from the company. That date, April 11, 2017, is approaching, so if you are one of the few users (it has always had a very low quota) that continues to use it make sure you have each and every one of the different updates that the company has released, since otherwise once the indicated date arrives, you will no longer be able to do so.
Windows 7 hit the market in 2009, two years after the failure of Windows Vista, but it was for sale until 2011, incompressible. Windows 8 has been another of the operating systems in which Microsoft seems to have not paid much interest, except in the happy interface that almost no one liked and that forced the company to launch a Windows 8.1 update, an update that the beloved returned to us start button shelving the famous tiles that no one had gotten used to.
