I can't believe I'm defending Microsoft here, but they've really got nor responsibility to subsidize your, or anyone else's, decision to continue using the software. Where does the line end?

The end isn't the problem; XP was a streaming pile of shit from the beginning (although IANAL, I'm pretty sure Defects in Materials and Workmanship have no statute of limitations). :p
