WINDOWS XP (when does MS support end?)

I am contemplating buying a new computer as "Windows me" support ends
in July. My computer is running this program.

Microsoft is coming out with a successor to Windows XP in 2007.

Windows XP has been out for about seven years. Should I wait for
successor to Windows XP to come out as I do not want to be stuck with
another obsolete operating system.

Your opinion is welcome.

If you been torturing yourself using WinME this long, you may as well
just wait to purchase a new computer when you need a new computer.

As long as you keep your virus/spyware protection up-to-date, have your
computer behind a firewall, and you use common sense in opening email
and visiting websites, there is little reason to worry about MS support
being terminated.

Why? Isn't the machine running well and meeting your needs? Do you
think Win Me is going to quit working on July 2?

That's the plan, anyway.

Check the reviews. If Vista has some feature you want then yes. If
not, it'll probably cost more so you might save buying now. Again, XP
is not going to quit working when Vista is released!

Considering the millions using XP, I think they'll keep issuing
security fixes for a while. They still are for Win 2000.
