What is microsofts policy on validating operating systems that are no longer
current.

I am thinking of buying a copy of Xp now for installing on a pc in the
future, could be 5 years.

I don't know whether the fact they may not support it with updates, which no
doubt will happen, will also have an effect on validation..
 
Microsoft has officially stated that it would always allow activation
and validate Windows XP with the Product Activation mechanism, or that
when they decide that they no longer want to bother with it that they
would introduce a patch to permanently disable Product Activation and
allow XP to run without activation.
