I am one of the happy Macpro users with a 2007 or earlier unit that apparently can not be upgraded. How long should I expect Apple will be supporting OS 10.7?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
I still get security and other assorted updates for SnowLeopard.
Plus, no one in these forums would know. Your guess would be as good as anybody's guess.
True, that. I can only guess myself.

As another Lion user, I think "support" comes in different flavors. Adding great new features pretty much stopped when OS 10.8 was released (Mountain Lion was the great new feature). Still, as steve359 points out, security support continues, at least for now (e.g., the XProtect malware list was last updated 10/8/13).
But security is becoming a full-time issue requiring active efforts to harden browsers and Internet connections (see this and this for steps to take) as well as elevated caution when surfing. Apple can help, but the buck stops at the keyboard.
When will support for Lion be discontinued ?
