According to this:

"Microsoft's "mainstream" support for Windows XP Professional under their
SupportLifecycle Policy ends on 04/14/09. No updates will be issued after
that date unless you pay for "extended support" which is available until
04/08/14."

Others said what I suspected. What gets me tied up in knots is WHY a
company puts out a WORSE version of a product (in this case, an OS), then
forces users to have to BUY the thing or face obsolescence !
