Before the iPad, there was the Newton

Lobotomized Newton

One quirk of the MessagePad hardware was that the firmware is stored in a memory needing backup battery. I still have a MessagePad 2100 that got bricked after both the main batteries and backup got depleted.

If anyone knows how to revive the MessagePad from such state, I'd be keen to have some nostalgic moments.

Microsoft slams coffin lid on Vista

WTF?

Missing data...

As anyone can check by Googling/Binging 'Microsoft Support Lifecycle', it's stated that:

When a new Windows service pack is released, Microsoft will provide 24 months of support for the previous service pack.

The same has always applied to XP also.
