They just told you: the supported lifetime is 10 years, the same as every OS this side of XP.

The reason they are using those terms is that there will be future versions of Win10 that will be supported past 2015 but devices that get Win10 this year will not be supported past that date.

It used to be that support was based on when the OS version was released but it looks like now it will be based on when the device was released. (Unless the OEM arranges for longer support.)
