Hi!

I guess U3 is almost dead right now. Are you sure that the downloads are 
not from mirroring servers or alike? ;-)


Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP:

"Extended support will end on April 8, 2014—after which no more security 
patches or new support information will be provided"

Seems like a good idea to roughly have end of WS XP support around that 
date - unless MS extends this period again.
