I've just read the support for Windows XP SP2 is going to expire in a couple of months:

http://www.infoworld.com/d/windows/microsoft-end-support-windows-2000-xp-sp2-july-13-961

x86 users have XP3 which is going to last abit longer but XP x64 doesn't have SP3.

Is there some kind of official response to this? Or is it just about time to panic (and buy win7)?
