I got the dreaded email stating that Microsoft wants me to upgrade windows in order to still get live mail.  But they were talking about 2012 live mail and higher version of windows.  I am on Windows Live 2011 working with Windows7.  Can someone please tell me if my live mail will still work if I don't upgrade? 

Some are saying to wait until I don't get any more email, then to uninstall and reinstall live.  Will that work? What will happen to all of my emails, folders, contacts etc?  Freaking out a little bit here.
