Check http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx

Till then, as long as Microsoft finds bugs and/or changes necessary for
security, reliability and performance, updates would keep coming

Sent? Updates are never sent, and if you receiving them by E-mail,
almost certainly they were not sent by Microsoft and are malware.

If you mean When will Updates Stop being available, the answer is when
they are no longer needed.

If you do not have SP3 installed, the WinXP SP2 machine will no longer be
offered Windows Updates in April 2010.

If you have SP3 installed, the machine will be offered critical security
updates through 2014.
