weblog.infoworld.com— You'd never confuse a Windows user with the passionate fans of Mac OS X or even the free Linux operating system. Unless it's someone running Windows XP, a version Microsoft wants to retire.

yea same here, I already have Ubuntu installed just in case(any thing happens to my XP), hell, I only need XP for MS office. If MS stops supporting XP I will only use XP for my studies and let open source linux rock my world.
Vista is a RAM hog and really user unfriendly...especially for high end users! What's with ruining the menu options for MS Office as well...piece of crap...why did they change it that drastically? Time to learn the Google apps and move aways from MS forever!!
As the Technical Support Manager for a Web Based Database Application that has been repeatedly broken by Microsoft's "improvements", I am not anxious to see a widespread wholesale roll-out of Vista. Every client that we have who is running Vista requires 2 to 3 times the amount of support of any other client on either Windows XP or Windows 2000.PLEASE SAVE Windows XP for the foreseeable future.

I definitely agree...while I already have XP on my current system, I don't want to be forced to purchase it if I buy another computer. I should at least have an option of which Operating System I would prefer to have.

Microsoft isn't ending support for XP, only new sales to OEMs.

No you don't. All you need to do is keep the harddrive. If you need a new one, just clone the drive to another one.
