Microsoft announces extended support for XP

This is good news for all of us with older or lower powered computers with Windows XP Home or MCE installed. Those computers will never see Vista because they can't run it to it's full potential. So this will keep our older or lower powered hardware running for another 7 years. I consider 4 to 5 years at least a reasonable life for a computer before it either breaks down or becomes so obsolete in that it is no longer no capable of ordinary tasks with then current applications.
