Ha ha, doesn't affect XP! My refusal to upgrade: my greatest asset!

Sure, sure, because Microsoft updates are the only way to secure a system. Third-party protection doesn't exist.

8th April 2014 is when XP support is retired altogether.
Yeah, that's what they said the last time. Something tells me that when a product has XP's massive install base, no major flaws beyond the need for occasional security patching, and is a known-good solution to most businesses' needs, it's not gonna be replaced any time soon, no matter what Microsoft wants.
