From what I had understood from sources (reliable - who knows, but lets just say they come from Renton, WA where they work) is XP would be supported until around 2014.

As a matter of fact here is a quote direct from Microsoft.

You can still buy new PCs and use Windows XP. Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate have downgrade rights that let you return your operating system to Windows XP. We plan to provide support for Windows XP until 2014.

So whoever told you XP support would end in 2009 was gravely mistaken!

Salesmen say that stuff, don't they. It's their job, I guess.
