How much did you pay for XP in the first place? Not more than $400, probably a lot less. Why should Microsoft be obliged to provide fixes forever for a cheap product? Does your car manufacturer fix your car for free? If your refrigerator breaks down after 12 years, will the manufacturer or the folks you bought it from fix it for free? It's only in the computer world that we expect stuff to be fixed for free for years and years.
