All it means is Microsoft will no longer update it. So for on-line work - a Microsoft brand of anti-virus and adware like "MS Security Essentials" will no longer be relevant. If you have off-brand protection -you can go on using XP forever - until something finally fails. I've got two computers that I've used for 12-13 years - a lot - with XP Pro.
Anybody that claims a computer only lasts a few years is being silly. A computer is a machine and just like a tractor - is made of many parts. Most are generic. The parts fail, the computers don't. Parts are cheap and can be changed. It's just a matter of when it's not worth it anymore.
I find the biggest problem to be program compatibility. Just about any program on XP will also run on Vista. But many of those programs will not run on Windows 7. And some programs specifically written for Windows 7 will not run on Windows 8. If your old programs serve you well - it might be worth keeping your XP machine near forever. If you do , just buy a 2nd newer machine for HD Web-stuff.
