Actually, MS has extended XP's end of life date to 2008.
See: News report
Responding to feedback from customers and third parties, Microsoft has extended the availability of Windows XP to both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and retail channels through to June 30, 2008. Originally slated to be pulled from retail shelves and OEMs on January 30, 2008—only a year after Windows Vista's debut—customers requested more time to prepare for the upgrade to Vista.
System builders will be able to continue offering Windows XP through June 2009. For emerging markets where Microsoft sells Windows XP Starter Edition, Microsoft has extended XP's availability to June 30, 2010.
MS knows Vista is not selling well. They need XP's revenue.
