Answer» Anyone know when Microsoft is cutting off support for Windows XP? I eMailed them and asked, but haven't gotten a response yet..Check this link out: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspxthx It appears that system builders can't get LICENSES anymore, and the OEM licensing is ending this month....but what about updates?? How long will update be available?According to: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&x=16&y=15&C2=1173 4/8/2014excellent...

An educated guess is that they will be forced to support it beyond the date they've claimed they'll DROP support. These dates have a habit of being pushed back by consumer PRESSURE.I've never really bothered with MS's Silly little schedules. If I WANT to USE a software product, I'll use it as long as I censored well please.

These dates have a habit of being pushed back by consumer pressure. I'd second you on that, however, it's possible the date could stick with Vista and the potential success of Windows 7. Would boil down to how many users would still be using it in 2014.Yes, may Vista disappear into Silicon censored as soon as ever possible.
