Microsoft are dropping security fixes for XP Service Pack 2. It is after all 10 years old, although many business shops have yet to upgrade since Vista was so clearly a rushed out flop. Microsoft have redeemed themselves with Windows 7, I prefer to think of this as what Vista really should have been had their not being the suits creating huge delivery pressure.
I do not know where this will leave fresh activations of Windows XP (handy for virtual machines at least). But it does present Microsoft with an opportunity, they could just allow XP licences now, since they are saying it's commercial life is now over.
Obviously not a choice we'll see them take, but a nice idea!
