Interesting read.  Last line states: "They also expressed some 
concern that Microsoft will withdraw support for current versions 
of Windows, which are used by many state government agencies."

That being the case, if you are a Win NT/95/98 shop and the 
pinhair complains about Linux being "unsupported" (when you seek
to replace Windows with Linux), one can make a good case that the 
current OS will also be unsupported.
