Here's the official communication from Microsoft. Look down to the end of the article.
http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/lifewinfaq#Microsoft-Windows-RT
Thanks for the link. Bobvfr already made my point. Being supported means MS will have trained personnel on hand who can provide support for that product. Provided you have a support agreement with MS, you can then call them up and get help.
It also means that any update MS does make, if any, will be made available to you.
In no way, shape or form does the support lifecycle include an implicit promise that MS will actually make updates for that product.
Many consumers misunderstand support to mean "updates". The OP also SEEMS to be using the term "support" in that way, but this is a misunderstanding limited to consumer tech forums. The IT industry never uses the term "support" in that way.
