Yes, support is probably gonna die soon. I don't think it's in the list of OS's to be officially hacked, but who knows anymore.
I think it's eventually gonna get to the point where Bill Gates just asks you for maybe like a weekly paycheck. You will PAY and he will RECEIVE. That way no matter what OS you're using, he can be sure he's getting his money.
And, yes, I've been pissed to the 9's ever since we were all forced into 1 OS per machine. Works great for folks like me who play with about 10 computers at any given time!!! (And people wonder why there are hacks)
