No mention of Web forms on MS's graveyard page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/gp/lifeobsoleteproducts

So you should be all right for long enough to migrate to a LAMP stack.

Out of a playful sense of irony, I looked up "Reasons not to use Open 
Source" and, sure enough, there amongst them was "When Proprietary 
Software offers better support".

Presumably, "better support" means "withdraw the product from 
circulation, thus requiring your users to pay for the latest upgrade (or 
the new flavour of the month) or risk falling behind the technology 
curve and being mocked by their shrinkwrap-avid friends".
