That's odd. You may want to bookmark 
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle for future 
reference. Apparently XP was originally intended to expire at the end 
of 2011 - ten years after its release - but this was postponed in 
2007 to this month. So whenever you purchased it, you would have 
expected expiration either now or much sooner.

(Er, no: I am not taking sides. But I do like to see arguments being 
based on evidence.)
