<div>Technically it is supported until mid April 2014. That being
said I have an nv4_disp BSOD issue with an old Nvidia 5200 card and I
am unlikely to see a driver update or MS update to fix it. Too bad my
attempts at converting Mom to Linux failed. </div>

Supported meaning in this case "We will still be polite when you call
MS about your XP problem, but unless you are a Fortune 50 company<br>
that is running into this issue, we can wait you out - and we might
just do that even if you *are* a Fortune 50 company..." <br>
Unsupported, IMO. I don't think we are too far out of agreement
here.... I would be doubtful there will ever be a SP4. Is MS doing<br>
any patches for XP today? Just curious...<br>
<br>

I just turned on an XP machine yesterday and it wanted to load
patches. They probably came out on the 12th though. I wouldn't relish
the thought of trying to get this old beast to run with a 4K drive
though, although it might be possible.<br>
