All XP users need to do is create a text file with the following contents:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]

"Installed"=dword:00000001

Then, change the file extension from ?.txt? to ?.reg,? and run the file in Windows Explorer. Opening Windows Update at this point should reveal several new security updates.

There's really no reason any home users should be running Windows XP anymore especially with it being such a huge security risk.

I dont really think its a big a deal as people are making it out to be. I recently had to replace the power supply in someone's computer and noticed they had automatic updates turned off. It was still on vista service pack 1. I made sure to fix everything up and run some scans and other than a bit of mostly harmless adware / malware there was nothing wrong with it. I think ms is just playing this security risk to the max to get people to upgrade. It's not like there was a rash of attacks when they stopped supporting 98 and ME.
