Windows Vista Service Pack 1: Support Ends on July 12, 2011 [GENERAL TECHNOLOGY]
Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) will come to an end on July 12, 2011. The transition of support on this date corresponds with the regular Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy. The date was originally set when Windows Vista Service Pack 2 released back in April 29, 2009.
Windows Vista users can continue to use the product at this service pack level but to be eligible for Mainstream Support and to have access to security and high priority updates, users must be on the supported service pack.
The most important part of this is that customers still on Windows Vista SP1 after this date will not have access to new security updates, high priority updates and non-security hotfixes.
As part of the normal support lifecycle, support is provided for 12 months for the previous service pack when a new service pack is formally released according to the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Service Pack policy for servers as outlined on the Microsoft Support Lifecycle page.
Both Mainstream and Extended Support are available only at a supported service pack level. However, as per the update to the Service Pack Lifecycle Support Policy announced on April 13, 2010, customers will be able to receive limited troubleshooting on unsupported service pack versions.
Additional information on this is available from the update provided on the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Service Pack Support Policy Revisions page.
