Hi
How long will Microsoft support (security updates etc.) XP Pro? I've herd
and read so many conflicting time periods (from the end of this year to an
additional 2yrs) and all for different reasons; does anyone know the facts or
where I can find them? Thanks for your help.

"Mainstream support will end two years after the next version of this
product is released. Extended support will end five years after
mainstream support ends."

The clock will start ticking when Windows Vista is released. So far
there is no firm date for that release.
