Oh Microsoft, oh Microsoft… how long will you continue to kid with us? First you tell us that we wouldn’t be getting any support after a certain date (because we already “got more than what we payed for” in your own words), then you delay that date by a few months, then you expand support and availability beyond that date for a certain class of devices.

Now you’re telling us XP support will not end, and we’ll continue to receive security and bug fixes and they’ll continue to provide support for companies who acquired extended support contracts with M$.

This means that Microsoft might continue to provide updates and support for XP until 2009
