Support for WinXP (x 86) SP2 ended July 13, 2010. After this date, the computers running Windows XP SP2 (x 86) "will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update" (automatic updates will not work and the Windows Update Web site is not available) until SP3 has been installed.  Extended support for WinXP SP3 will continue through April 8, 2014.

Does that mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported?
