Microsoft Shuts Mainstream Support for Vista, Windows XP Deadline Approaches
Microsoft has ended today the free support period for all Windows Vista users, as developers moved from Mainstream to just Extended support. From now on, users have only two years to enjoy support for Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003.
Microsoft urges all users to upgrade to Windows 7 and leave older versions behind. As from today, Vista users will have to pay for every support action, except for security updates.
These updates will be served during the next five years and on the 11th of April 2017, the period of Extended support will be terminated as well.
With Mainstream support, Microsoft served free and regular OS updates that came as security fixes or other patches. In Extended, most of these patches have to be paid.
Microsoft has stretched the Extended time-frame of Windows XP or Office 2003 for three extra years compared to Vista.
This is likely because of the lower number of people still using Vista compared to Windows XP.
Other products moved inside the Extended Support phase include Office 2007, which will completely be discontinued in 2017, as well as Vista.
All versions of the OS are affected by this change, including Visa Business, Business N, Enterprise, Home Basic, Home Basic N, Home Premium, Starter and Ultimate editions.

Making E-Mailing Our Companies Better For Everyone
We think that there are too many email addresses for a company so we decided to change this, all our companies will be generalised to info@ to make it allot easier to remember email addresses. We have decided to keep personal contact email addresses for direct contact but if you cant fin the email you just email info@ and it will be passed on to that person straight away saving you time, rummaging around for that lost piece of paper it was written on.
On our AA Network Solutions Website there will be info@ and we will keep tech@ that is the only two that will stay on that site.
Also all of our websites have contact us forms on them to make it easier to contact us.
We will be implementing all these changes to all our websites by the end of October 2011.
