"Responding to feedback from customers and third parties, Microsoft has extended the availability of Windows XP to both original equipment manufacturers 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."

"Support" is not the same thing as "availability to OEMs and retail channels". MS's policy has been to support their various OS releases for a number of years--even after newer, shinier ones have hit the street. Didn't Windows 2000 just get its' final "rollup" within the past year or so?
Nevertheless, I agree with what I assume is the actual sentiment behind the statement--XP will very likely be available for well beyond June 30.
