  1. Being pedantic, I should point out that Office 2010 isn't actually compatible with Windows XP any more, as recent security updates include a version of MSO.DLL with isn't XP compatible. It is therefore necessary to use an out of date version of MSO.DLL for the programs to run on XP, potentially opening up security risks. Microsoft have shown no sign of addressing this problem, despite being told about it, so I can only assume that as far as they are concerned, XP compatibility has been dropped. That's why I said "supposedly" in my post.

  2. Certainly the date for withdrawal that was first mooted turned out to be incorrect. I'm still hoping that Microsoft Update at least will be kept online while updates to things like Office 2010, which is (supposedly) compatible with XP, and still in support, are still being rolled out. I wouldn't bet on them putting up any warning though when it's pulled. They didn't for the Windows 98 version, one day it was just suddenly gone!

  3. It's mid August, and WU and MU are still working fine on Windows 2000 and XP-x64 over here, with no signs of it stopping any time soon (I'd imagine it would display a warning to the effect of, "Windows[Microsoft] Update will be shutting down soon" to give users some advance warning. I'm starting to think maybe this was just some F.U.D designed to scare off the few who are still using XP. c
