Actually, MS's OS support policy (Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ) is pretty well defined. I see no reason why they could't continue this.

PhreePhly

I don't believe I said they don't have a structured support system. What I'm saying is they have to look at how long they will support an OS if they are successful in releasing new one every 3 years.

EXAMPLE: Windows 2000 Extended Support ends July 13, 2010.

Yea, but realize thet Extended Support is minimal. Mainstream support ended 6/30/2005.

I understand that, but manpower is manpower. I don't know what theirs is like but it could be stretching on a tighter release schedule.

MS will soon be asking for ThePirateBay to seed for them.
