I got one better than that:
A recent e-mail from Bill Gates of Microsoft stated:
" It's interesting that so far I've actually not yet seen even one person
e-mail
Microsoft since the Windows XP EoL announcement to say,
"If I volunteer my time or pay for your time to support Windows XP for
security
patches, can we extend the EoL?".
Same difference.
