   Microsoft hasn't done that with any previous, and now unsupported,   
   versions of Windows.  I still use Windows 2000 Pro.  I know people still   
   using W95.  They still work just fine.   
      
   But if you're nervous, just set "Updates" to Notify, but not download   
   or install -- this is how all my Windows systems are configured, then   
   after support ends, turn it off.
