Windows XP user-base is still very big. I would vote against 
ditching the XP support. The main reason ReactOS 
(http://www.reactos.org) is becoming so popular is precisely 
because XP users consider it as alternative once the XP support 
from Microsoft is gone. ReactOS is slowly reaching the stable 
state, it even "works" on my HP Z200 workstation at work! :)

I have a Windows XP netbook that I still use on a daily basis! :) 
All I am trying to say is - XP is not dead, yet...
