Microsoft will not support earlier versions of Windows for ever - it's a sad fact, but true.
Support for Windows includes updates and security patches, the latter vital if you are to keep one step ahead of the malware-creaters.
The good news is that support for Windows XP will continue - so long as you have Service Pack 3 installed.
The bad news is that support for Windows 2000 (is anyone still using that version???) ends completely from 13 July 2010.
Vista users should also check that they have the latest Service Pack, as the earliest version of Vista (January 2007) will not be supported after 13 April 2010, unless at least Service Pack 1 is installed.
But above all else, keep your Microsoft products up-to-date. Remember, the second Tuesday/Wednesday every month is Microsoft Update Day.
