Microsoft are not my faviourate company, but the are not dishonest ALL the time.
Agreed, I mean, running a 8 year old OS may be fine for some people, but the vast majority of users run newer OS's, and don't forget, Microsoft are building a new one... It makes sense buisness wise to keep all available resources working on the most popular versions of Windows, as well as spending time trying to make their up and coming one as secure as possible when launched!
