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
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..."
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
any patches for XP today? Just curious...
