So you are one from the XHTML2 camp then? Good we got HTML5 and good that the weird years of transition to XHTML 1 and unclear vision with XHTML2 and ECMAScript for XML (E4X) are long gone.

Not true. MS will support Windows 7 until 2020 and Windows 8.1 until at 2023. (security updates aka "extended support") And Windows 10 has a official 10-year support lifecycle, = 2025. http://www.zdnet.com/article
