Only 5 years of support for some Vista variants???

See this ComputerWorld article.

Microsoft Corp. yesterday said it would limit support for three versions of the Windows Vista operating system, including its most expensive, to five years rather than the usual 10 years. The company defended the difference by noting that the clock just started ticking. "End of life-cycle support for Windows Vista is still five years out," a spokesperson said in an e-mail response.

Just wondering what the support lifecycle is/was for early versions of OSX... Seems like 5 years is an eternity in the Mac world. I know they still have some downloads for system7 etc, but what about patches etc?
