This is good news....doesn't light a fire under anyone to rush and buy Vista right off the bat.

Hopefully that's true, as I will probably buy the OS after Vista, because Vista seems to have many disadvantages,,

Microsoft will offer a minimum of 10 years of support for Business and Developer products. Mainstream support for Business and Developer products will be provided for 5 years or for 2 years after the successor product (N+1) is released, whichever is longer. Microsoft will also provide Extended support for the 5 years following Mainstream support or for 2 years after the second successor product (N+2) is released, whichever is longer. Finally, most Business and Developer products will receive at least 10 years of online self-help support.
