Huh? I just told *you* not to believe 'shit', so why should I believe
it? And I *did* prove it, with a cite. What's your excuse for ranting?

May I suggest you re-read your posting. You *did* snip the part after
"If/when Windows 7 support ever runs out,". I *unsnipped* it.

I don't know why you got your knickers in such a tight knot! You asked
a question ("A long time for you is days, weeks or years?") and I
answered and gave a supporting cite. Don't like the answer? Tough! Don't
