I guess this will all depend on how long it takes MS to release Vienna. When Vista and Vienna are both out, XP won't be supported any more. XP was released 5 years ago (minus a few weeks) so judging by their past record, maybe there's not that much life left in the old dog after all

Not sure what the market penetration of XP is... might see what stats I can come up with, but it is almost home time, so might not
As for stats being made up, this was posted in the FT yesterday, so I'd hope the CEO of McAfee did a bit of research before opening his mouth
ps - just read the original article over at ZDnet... it's not the same thing I was referring to.... I'm on about this one -
