Only a rumor, no basis in fact.

It's a rumor.
WinXP SP3 is tentatively scheduled for release in the first half of 2008.

Look for lifecycle policies on the MS web site. XP will be supported for a
few more years.

I can confirm that it's completely false. See

You should find a better source for getting rumors. ;-)
