Microsoft's policy is to support OSes (any of their products, actually) for
seven years following the end of ship.

Microsoft's new OS named VISTA is in the final stages of Beta test and is
scheduled to be released this summer. If all goes well distribution of XP
will cease before Labor Day. Word among computer types is Microsoft will
continue to support XP for 4 to 5 years. VISTA will require the user to have
at least 1.0 Ghz of processor speed as well as requiring the use of special
PCI-2 video cards.
There are no plans at this time to upgrade Windows Server 2003 at this time.
