Hey all!,
I was able to get the SP-3 cd from MS for the cost of shipping a couple of years ago. It is worth a try. Also, may be available on the Net. It was a large set of files.

Hello:
It is my understanding that support for W XP 2 will end in early July, 2010. However, Microsoft support will continue for W XP SP3 until 2014.

Go here to verify the following:

But XP is not dead. Not even by a long shot. Not at over 70% of the operating system market. And this is not about Service Pack 3, this is about the good old anti-Vista, XP SP2. Microsoft will continue to offer support for XP SP2 until July 13, 2010, which is two years from now. And XP SP3 will go even further than that.
"We understand some of our customers aren't ready to upgrade their PCs to Windows Vista. Although Windows XP will disappear from stores, we'll continue to offer Extended Support for the operating system for six more years, until April 2014," Microsoft added. Customers that haven't already moved to Vista, or haven't even debuted plans for migrating/upgrading, will most likely skip Vista altogether.

Greetings--
I believe critical and security updates will continue to remain available through Microsoft/Windows update for Windows XP until June, 2014. I could be wrong, however; I still get those updates for a Windows 2000 Server that I administer at my church, and that is now 3 (or 4, depending on how you count) server versions back, Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 having superceded it.
HTH.
Sincerely,
Paul A. Shippert

Subject: [PCSOFT] no support win xp
Hi, Does anyone have an opinion about Win XP as far as no further support after this month? Would it be advisable to keep a computer with that OS or go ahead and upgrade or replace the computer? I don't want to be blasted with viruses and such with no security updates available. Thanks for your input.
