    I am on Windows 7, but I like to keep Windows XP as a second OS on my hdd.

    Any news on fixing that 2862330 (Windows XP)?

    On Windows 7 x64 in my case, 2862330 doesn't make any problems although 2533552 is already installed.

    And there is one more thing which I don't understand.

    IF, 2533552 is valid update and it is offered through Windows Update, why people are complaining on 2862330?

    Three days ago, my friend bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home x86 disc.

    He asked me to install Windows on his new PC.

    Anyway, I've installed that Windows with SP1.

    Many updates are shown on WU and also 2862330.

    All of them are installed properly.

    No problems.

    I double checked WU.....and everything was OK.

    I noticed 2862330 problem only on XP.

    On my PC, Windows 7 x64 is also properly updated and all updates properly installed.

    Also on my notebook, Windows 7 x86 is also properly updated.

    Those are 3 different PC without 2862330 problem.

    You don't have to go to win 8. You can try to somehow upgrade to Windows 7 for now.

    XP is only supported until 4/8/2014.  After that it's no longer an asset.

    If you are still having issues with 2862330 make sure you remove all of your usb connections before attempting to install.  The usb devices are holding the code and thus when the patching occurs it can't patch with the code being locked in use by the usb device.

    There's no plot here to kill off Windows XP, rather it's sloppy USB device coders and this kernel update is showcasing we have a lot of usb devices out here.

    Why indeed?

    Crazy thinking at Microsoft?

    Why abandon such an asset as XP?

    I don't want W8, and will never buy it - I'd prefer an XP kept current.
