Actually:
Just because the vendor drops support does not mean that you arent free to update your software. You can use a multitude of ways from Yum to Apt to update your distro. Even if the vendor doesnt officially support the distro anymore. Thats the beauty of open source if the vendor doesnt want to support their product after a while you can still get updates on your own from the various projectst aht were included with your distro. When "other" os's drop support you are completely stuck and cant update anything as the community doesnt have access to the code the "other" os companies used.. So you are propogating FUD.
