As per this Ars Technica article, XP Home support will be discontinued on 12/31/06. This means not even security updates.

"For consumer products, security updates will be available through the end of the mainstream phase. For Windows XP Home Edition, there will be no security updates after 12/31/06." Regarding paid support for problems unrelated to security patches, I was told that "Users who want to continue to receive support after the Microsoft assisted and paid support offerings have ended may visit the Retired Product Support Options Web site."

ouch.

article.
 
Your topic summary is misleading. They didn't kill it for Vista. This decision was made back in 2002, which is stated in the article on Ars.

And I'm betting there is a good chance they will extend it.
