@Steven G. – A lot of people are indeed still using XP, hence the decision from Microsoft about the support extension I guess. And you are right, why not? If it works for you, why upgrade? Vista took a long time to become stable, and both Windows 7, and Windows 8 in the near future, will require people to upgrade their hardware or replace their PC.
In many cases the application software is much more important than the actual operating system, so as long as new, useful and interesting applications are supported on XP, that Windows version will remain useful.

I think it is good that xp is still supported with updates, and patches. I believe XP is simple. It seems the higher up you go.. vista, then 7, and now 8, the more complicated windows becomes. People like who just read the news, play card games, and do simple things do not have to waste their money on upgraded version. Also if you like simple things there are other operating systems much improved waiting to jump in once xp stops.. for instance linux mint works great, as does ubuntu.. operating systems are becoming a dime a dozen.. so why stop something that works? KISS= Keep It Simple Stupid. That’s engineering talk for you.
