This just cane across the wire, from Network World. According to the article at http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/100308-microsoft-grants-windows-xp-yet.html?code=nldailynewsam162720, Microsoft has extended availability of Windows XP for new machines until the end of next July.
According to the article, the catch is that you must pay for Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate. However, since that is equivalent to saying that you must pay for Windows XP Professional, which you want anyway, this catch hardly seems like a show-stopper.
Further into the article, there is a report, attributed to a group in Florida, that more than a third of all new computers are being downgraded to XP.
