Well, I'd be happy to pay for ongoing support, for about the same cost as my annual anti-virus support.

Now there's a business opportunity for people like Trend Micro / Symantec / Macafee - offer bundled anti-virus and continued XP support to normal users - assuming M$ would play ball, of course.

Not terribly environmentally friendly to expect 450 million serviceable PCs to be thown away...
