[quote user="Poppa_Zit"]<p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">Don't panic. As usual, rumors abound.</font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">You have another two full years -- at least -- to get support from Microsoft -- but Windows XP will be operating computers long after the one you now have has become obsolete.</font></p><p>"Microsoft appears to be making an exception to the way it normally treats "consumer products," and has explicitly <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-gb&x=16&y=12&C2=1173">extended Windows XP Home support</a> to "two years after the next version of this product is released," that is, two years after the release of Windows Vista. Microsoft has also extended the Mainstream Support lifespan of other products that were on borrowed time, including Media Center Editions 2002, 2004, and 2005, and XP Tablet edition. They will all also get the two year extension, which by our estimates means that they will receive support until the end of 2008. Windows XP Professional will see support well beyond 2011."</p><p>[url]http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060112-5970.html[/url]</p>[/quote]But what about Windows updates for my computer?
