There already has been an update (confusingly called Visual Studio Update) as of a couple of days ago.

After 10 long years, Microsoft is finally — mercifully — putting Windows Vista out of its misery. On April 11, the software giant will cease to support the decade-old operating system. It will be missed by everyone needing to support their grandparents' computers
Maybe they can downgrade to Windows ME?

Bypassed Vista and ME, did I miss anything?

With Vista, you missed the chance to say "NO!", when it offered to install all the "WOW!" cr@p, and thereby end up with a pretty decent OS (better than XP).
Those who complain about Vista are those who -- for God only knows what insane reason -- clicked "Yes, please! Make my life a misery!".
Vista was great; all you had to do was obey Nancy Reagan, and just say "no".

I probably didn't give it a chance but just heard to much about it. I think I may have downloaded a version at one time but don't remember for sure.

I still have a Vista machine running -- and when I say "running", I mean it has been running solid for what must be seven years (since I moved to this house, and only ever being rebooted for updates).
It's even on my KVM (which is a bit of an honour, among my machines), so I can switch to it easily.
Without the misguided "Let's try to be like apple!" cr@p, Vista's solid as a rock.
Funnily enough, the laptop I'm typing this on is win 8.1 -- but I stripped out all the "Let's try to be like android!" cr@p, and again ended up with a good operating system.
My biggest hope is that they'll one day try to be like microsoft.

I upgraded my 11 yo vista laptop to W7 a few months ago. It didn't get Wevened when it came out like the rest of my systems because my brother never got around to claiming his free upgrade to W7 that came with his bought just before it came out laptop. Having a matching OS on one system was convenient for talking him how to fix something. After that eventually stopped being a concern (he went to the dork side and installed Ubuntu), I wasn't using it for anything and as an emergency loaner for family I didn't particularly care much either.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That is OK if they don't support it any more. Those Windows updates just broke stuff or added junk ware anyway

Years ago, my oldest daughter bought a laptop with Vista on it. It worked just fine (until she dropped it, though I think that was after I put Windows 7 on it. Took me days to fix that.)

OMG! What am I going to do?!!! My Vista machine is going to explode any minute now!
Actually, I have had Vista running with no problems for several years on one of my machines. I have never felt the urge to update it to Win7 even though all my other machines, apart from a couple of XPs, and a Windows Server 2008 (and a DOS 6.22 virtual machine) are on Win7 (and I plan to keep them there for as long as possible).
I will update this machine when it's hard drive finally goes to The Great Spindle in the sky.

The singularity is that point in time when all the advances in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to machines that are smarter than human beings. Just keep guessing. You might be right once.

Microsoft is soon rolling out a new feature to Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, introducing the ability to automatically transcribe in-game voice chat in real-time. Because they need preserving?
I'm guessing there won't be many kid-sister-safe ones

Having heard some of the crap that goes over in-game voice chats, this could backfire.
