It seems that a lack of support by third party software vendors determines whether 
an OS is still useable or not.

I don't think that is quite right. My understanding is that there will be updates 
well into 2010 unless Microsoft announced they will cut off support early.

I don't go to the WGA page out of principle. If you know the file name you can usually 
track it down by googling for it.

ERPman is a good place to look for updates. I read the security bulletins, download 
the updates, and archive them to keep them on hand.
