So this week brought the last security patches for Windows XP SP2. Interesting that XP SP3 will be supported until 2014. The 2020 date was somewhat misleading but is explained here:

Hard to believe XP came out in 2001 and SP2 came out in 2004. Time to think about Windows 7, and the pain of getting rid of, replacing or re-writing those legacy apps. As I heard someone say the other day, the only constant is change.
