jesus christ no one wants this OS to die at any cost

The NHS is quite pleased about the deal, and said in a statement that it is "very grateful" for the deal, which is not surprising given that 85 percent of its 800,000 PCs are still running Microsoft's obsolescent operating system.

The NHS is lacking funding as it is so I can see why they're happy about it.

The only real issue with vista was it was bloated when it came out

eh vista is okay if you have the 64-bit version. I've been using that for years now and never had a problem. my only fear is that vista will get pulled next.
