Hey guys, I wasn't sure where to post this question so I apologize in advance if it's in the wrong spot. Does anyone know how much longer Windows XP will be supported? I mean how long will MS continue to release and host patches and security fixes on their site? This link says that they'll continue support through 2014, but I can't tell if there was an official announcement or not. Does anyone know for sure?
Sig pics should be no larger than 300 pixels in height and 500 pixels wide.

Hell, they just did away with Win98 support pretty recently. CobraIsland.com

People bitched about XP when it came out. Turned out fine. I'm sure Vista will have the same history. CobraIsland.com
