Word has it that Norton is also going to stop support for those

But hey that is what we are here for right.

I love it when MS say things like

"Customers who upgrade to Windows XP report improved security, richer functionality, and increased productivity."

Perhaps someone forgot to tell MS that the hackers and worm authors have already upgraded and are not limited to targetting just one OS?
