Microsoft announced that it was extending technical support for home Windows XP operating systems, a signal that it was not abandoning them for Vista software launching next week. The Redmond, Washington software giant said the 'support life cycle' for Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Media centre Edition would be stretched to April 2009. Similar support would be provided for users of Windows XP Professional, according to Microsoft.

Agreed. Linux support should be out in the open more.
The previous version of Ubuntu was called Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
The LTS stood for Long Term Support, with Ubuntu supporting it on the desktop for 3 years and on the server for 6 years.
So there you go, a Linux system supported for 6 years, and with the development cycle of Ubuntu, that is some promise for them to make.
