The launch of Windows 7 could take place within a few months from now. Microsoft will stop supporting all versions of Vista in April 2012, Francis said. Having said that, an enterprise customer that purchases a PC with Windows 7 pre-installed is allowed to downgrade to Vista should they desire, similar to what we have today on Vista to XP,” wrote Richard Francis, general manager and Windows client business group lead at Microsoft Asia-Pacific, in an e-mail. “We are still not sure if will be able to ship Vista once Windows 7 is made available. This time Microsoft aims to put the ghosts of its Vista troubles to rest as soon as possible, and could stop selling Vista as soon as Windows 7 is released.

How long does Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) plan to keep selling copies of its Windows Vista operating system after the upcoming launch of Windows 7? The company isn’t saying.
