Well, apparently there is some light shining into the dark sinister caverns of Microsoft as they state that Windows XP will be available through "official" outlets for another 12 months.

"Microsoft said in a statement that it expects PC companies to keep a select number of Windows XP systems around for 12 months, and that system builders and resellers that cater to business customers will be able to offer Windows XP for 24 months. Boxed copies of Windows XP will be available through official outlets for another 12 months, Microsoft said."

Dan,
I can just imagine the nightmare for businesses trying to get printers and scanners online in Vista when there are little or no drivers. I have wasted 2 days screwing with those issues, imagine if I had 50 printers and scanners?
