Go to the bottom of the page and use the alphabetical listing.
You'll be disappointed. It's not when will. It's when did.

*sigh* April, 2014 - they will stop putting out updates for Windows XP with
SP3.

For the future - might I suggest an Internet search engine first? This
question has been asked several times over the years - and answered in much
the same manner as I have just done. Most - if not all - of those queries
are still out on the Internet and many are indexed by the various Internet
search engines.
For example - a Google search using your words (but expanding "MS" to
"Microsoft"):
http://www.google.com/search?q=When+will+Microsoft+drop+support+for+XP
Gives this hit first:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-gb&C2=1173
Heck - not even expanding your words, just using them as is:
http://www.google.com/search?q=When+will+MS+drop+support+for+XP
Gives this link first:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-gb&C2=1173
Now maybe you don't understand what "Extended Support" is... The table
under #3 explains it...

Basically - you'll still get security updates, beable to browse the
KnowledgeBase articles and pay for further help (at ~$59/incident) if you
need to.
If you have not installed SP3 - I suggest you do so before 7/13/2010. At
that point - you may not be able to install updates onto the Windows XP
operating system after that date if you do not already have SP3.
