Yes and MS quietly extended 98 for a few more years until they came out<br>with 2000.A much better OS than ME at the time,IMHO.</blockquote><div><br><br>Windows ME Release Date: Sept. 14, 2000<br>Windows 2000 Release Date: Feb. 17, 2000<br>
<br>Windows 2000 was out half a year ahead of Windows ME... so something tells me they didn't "quietly extend 98 for a few more years until they came out with 2000"... even if you were talking XP (which was Oct 2001) it would be a year, not a few years. <br>

You are comparing XP Pro (Officially a business operating system) to Vista Home Premium (a Home operating System)... you have to compare XP Pro to a Business version of Vista and when you do that you get Vista Business with an EOL of 2017 ( <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=11707">http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=11707</a> ), 3 years after XP Pro. <br>
