Okay, so why bother mentioning Vista then? Not questoning you Sec, questioning the article. Vista went out of support long before XP did.
Vista is still under the extended support Client operating systems Windows Vista Latest update or service pack Service Pack 2 End of mainstream support April 10, 2012 End of extended support April 11, 2017
Yeah, figured this morning, when I saw that pop up on my machine almost immediately, that it might be a bit important. Usually don't see Wednesday updates first thing, but later on in the day, after work.
Today at library I downloaded all updates on both our laptops that Windows Update had for us to download. Going to double-check that we got all those that were listed, I'm assuming it did though, at least one of the titles(the number code of the update) was the same.
DarkLight, I'm still running Vista using a 6 year old HP. Course, this thing seems to be a virus magnet, but other than that, no problems. No problems. No problems. NOproblems. NOProblems. Kaun
Don't know what "oday vulns" means? No context. Some of us still run MicroSloth Windose for valid reasons, and see no reason to change to Third Party stuff. My PCs (the old one and the new one) are Win7. I like it. It has features I like and use. I am still trudging up the steep learning curve of my laptop's ghastly Win8.1. Will likely at some point have it lobotomized and have Win7 installed. Win8/8.1 are simply stupid for a real computer. I need true production work capability, which 8.1 seriously lacks. The typical work-arounds only address a small part of the problems inherent in it. I don't expect to much better from Win10. (Whatever happened to Win9?)
0day vulns means zero day vulnerabilities. They are crtical unpatched vulnerabilities in the software. win 8/8.1 are awful win 9 became win10 they skipped that version number. "The mainstream support of Microsoft Windows 7 [ended Monday]." security updates will stop January 14, 2020
In January 2020 I expect to have my hover craft like the Jetson's had.... we will be on MS 20 at that point... which will have an AI that basically reads your mind due to the brain implant. To send an email.... you just have to think it.....
