  Yes, Windows Vista SP1 support is ending soon. When a product reaches the end of support, it no longer receives security updates which can help protect it from malicious software as well as other software updates which can help improve the reliability of Windows.
  
  Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) will end on July 12, 2011.
