Over at MSFN Forums, user 'harkaz' has described a simple 3-step method of applying newer Microsoft updates to Windows XP operating systems.
He says: "The constraints are entirely artificial. Porting is easy as 1-2-3 ... So Windows XP can have semi-official support until 2019!"

This is the type of community that should know about and try to support ReactOS [reactos.org]. It's pretty much a *nix-type free Windows XP/7 equivalent. I've test run some of the builds on PIII laptops that could only dream of running more than 512mb ram and it runs like Windows 98 on a P4. (I hope some of you know what I'm talking about!)
Anyway, since "official" support has ended for XP, this would be a functionally equivalent OS that allows people to use their exact same Windows programs, but still be supported.

ReactOS is still in Alpha. I am hoping 0.4 will be stable enough to be marked as beta. ReactOS still has a fairly long uphill battle, before I could recommend it for anyone's business.
