"Since Microsoft is ending XP support soon"


Where does this come from that Microsoft is ending "support" for XP soon? They have announced support until - what is it? - 2012 or 2014, and will likely extend it beyond that. Security updates will continue well past dropping of mainstream support. My Goodness! I'm still getting security updates for Windows 2000. 2000 is just now becoming unusable for a certain segment of users and not even yet unserviceable for the rest of us. You will have to use both hands and maybe take off a shoe or two to count the usable years left in XP's lifetime. Don't be so hasty to bid XP goodby.
