Making it the longest supported Microsoft OS. Well, it’s official, Vista has just become the new Windows ME:

With many business and individual PC users rejecting Windows Vista, Microsoft took an unprecedented step this week by promising support for Windows XP for a full 13 years. That is three years longer than it has allowed for previous Windows operating systems.

I wonder what this extension says about the quality of their new OS, Windows 7, which will be released in 2010? Hmmm…too bad I’ll probably have to buy a new laptop then.
