I started looking into support expiration dates since I see a "consultant" very strongly recommending that people move from XP to Win7. Some of these people have limited means and the cost of buying Win 7 and the hardware to run it would be significant to them.
It appears that Win 7 SP2 will be released in mid-2012, which implies that support will continue through mid-2017.
I wanted to have my ducks in line before suggesting that such a move might not be cost-effective for some people. If they "need" to move forward, perhaps waiting for Win 8 would be a better use of their funds. But buying any Windows before SP1 seems like something of a gamble.
