XP and Vista question

I don't see XP disappearing for quite some time. MS cannot afford to walk
away from yesterday's operating system (or even the day before yesterday) -
they are in a totally different boat from Apple. Apple doesn't have the
incentive (they are incentivized in the opposite direction!) to keep
supporting older operating systems - their business model seems totally
built around constantly moving their user base forward, making it much more
attractive to simply keep buying new hardware from...Apple.
