B&N stops support for their Nook for PC and Nook for Mac apps

Barnes & Noble has quietly discontinued support for their Nook for PC and Nook for Mac applications.
Reads the company's email to users:

We are no longer supporting NOOK for PC for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To enjoy the NOOK content on your PC please use the NOOK for Windows 8 App or NOOK for Web. [ link ]


The moves are none too surprising, given that B&N stopped updating the apps in November 2011 and March 2012, respectively.

At the same time, Barnes & Noble has reduced the price of their Nook+ HD to $149, $120 off the regular price as they practically give the tablet away.

The title of this article is a bit misleading. They clearly did not stop PC support. Just 2000/XP/Vista OS's. Which makes sense they are dead OS's slowly fading away.
