Assume MS to stop supporting XP in the 17th month.They'd better not! Why should I be forced to buy an OS full of squirmy, non-performing, bugs?

According to Microsoft’s Website, their Mainstream Support for XP SP2 will end 24 months after Vista is released, it then goes into their Extended Support, where you can get mainly Security Updates for another 5 years. So basically there are 7 years of left of support for the lifecycle on XP.
Our company is still running Windows 2000 for workstations, and decided to wait a couple of years to see how Vista shakes out before upgrading. Linux isn’t a viable option for workstations in the near future considering the investment in vendor software and vendors unwillingness to produce Linux clients.
