Windows 10 gets major update as Windows Vista reaches its end of life | arstechnica.com

Yesterday we got Creators and also lost support for Vista… which in reality, much like the article states, it not really much of a loss at all.  I didn’t mind Vista, even ran it for a year or two at work, it just needed a lot more horsepower than under the hood than XP did.  Its a great read, and as usual Ar’s killed it with their research and layout.

Today Windows Update sees the first mainstream release of the Windows 10 Creators Update and the last public patches, ever, for Windows Vista.

Released to manufacturing on November 8, 2006 and shipping to consumers on January 30, 2007, Windows Vista had a troubled development and a troubled life once it shipped. But it was an essential Windows release, laying the groundwork for Windows 7 and beyond. For all the criticism that Vista and Microsoft received, the company never really backtracked on the contentious aspects of the release. After a while, those aspects just stopped being contentious.
