ZDNet reports that support for Windows XP SP1 and SP1a will be ending this coming Tuesday.

From the article:

'Microsoft will end support for Windows XP Service Pack 1 and SP1a on Tuesday, leaving people no option but to upgrade to Service Pack 2 if they wish to continue to receive crucial components, including security software.'

Colin Barker of ZDNet notes, 'There's little reason for anyone to still be running SP1; SP2 contained a range of improvements to XP's security

On another note, NETBSD recently stopped support for their 1.6 branch. NetBSD released this branch shortly after 2002
