What is going to happen to Windows Vista now that there’s Windows 7?

You’re still good.
No worries.

Windows 7 isn’t released yet, only the beta.

Vista is still Microsoft’s latest stable release of Windows so it will still be supported for a while.

you can still use it, just because your friend gets a new car doesnt mean yours wont work.

nothing will happen, windows vista will still exist

windows 7 is in the beta stage… this means it’ll be a while before it’s actually released… probably another year or 2…. even then, windows will still support, and update users with vista for a long time so your ok… windows xp users still get updates and support like normal until 2014.. so vista will definitely reach into the 2020′s at least

honestly, it doesnt really matter. but windows 7 is faster and honestly its beta is better than vista. to actual computer users, it feels more complete than vista. but theres rumors that windows vista users will get either a discount or a free copy of windows 7.

Windows 7 is basically Vista R2, and Microsoft says anything that runs on Vista will run on 7. So most likely anything the runs on 7 will run on Vista too.

For now Windows 7 isn’t out in final form so your don’t have to worry. Also Vista support will last a few years after Windows 7 comes out too.

Your honestly fine. Don’t worry about getting another operating system. A lot of people still use XP and prefer it to vista. There is really a great deal of freedom with PC’s. It is all still compatible, so don’t worry about it. Windows 7 is just a Beta version for people to test out. It’s your choice if you wana switch. It just depends on what you need from a computer, your own preferences and the technical specifications that differ from each OS. Infact I’m trying to downgrade from Vista to XP at the moment.

You will still be able to use Windows Vista, the same way that people out there today can still use Windows XP even though Vista has been out for awhile now.
But who knows, it may turn out that Windows 7 is really cool and you may want to download it. I’m debating whether or not it is worth the time to download the beta which is still available.
In short, you won’t need to worry about Vista being usable when Windows 7 comes out.

Technically it isn’t out yet. But when it does come out it will slowly take over laptops like Vista over XP.

You can still use it. Windows XP is still around isnt it? Lol lame XP users
