    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.

    It is, I believe (ie I don't know) a security app for code loaded through USB.

    I don't think that this a serious Microisoft effort to kill XP, as it is too puny.

    Some guy at Microsoft apparently thinks that XP users are all going to switch to W8, but I think that if XP ever dies, people will want something similar from another vendor.

    So I would think that some brash young Microsoft CEO who kills off XP, might find Microsoft reduced to an X-Box company, and keep on shrinking.

    Why would any sane person, toss away such an asset, rather than keep improving it at a modest rate.

    A brash young upstart with no sense, that's who!
