Windows XP is a version of Windows which Microsoft still fully supports. There are explicit upgrade paths to supported versions of the product. The fallacy is that a lot discussion implies that Windows XP is not a version of the Windows Product line. The real question that should be being raised is how long should Microsoft support an older version of their Software? Personally, I don't think something that is over a decade old and has gone through more than three major versions should be required to be supported. It's time to upgrade already or deal with technical stagnation.
