Support is ending for some versions of Windows

Support for Windows Vista without any service packs will end on April
13, 2010.

Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) will end on July 13, 2010.

If you're running one of these versions after support ends, you won't
get security updates for Windows.
