title: Will MS drop support for XP in .Net 4.* or 5.*?
body: <p>Does it matter to developers that the current, and newer versions of .Net don't support windows 2000?</p>
  
  <p>It scares me to think that several of my clients still use Windows 2000 and although I may decide to stop supporting Windows 2000 one day, I don't like that Microsoft is pushing it on people's products. </p>
  
  <p>Could anyone see Microsoft doing this with XP in the future to spur sales of Vista and later?</p>
  
  <p>Just to clarify, this is not a bashing of MS in any way, I love MS, but it is a genuine concern that I would like opinions on.</p>
  
  <p>In contrast I can't see C++0x implementors saying "it won't work on windows 2000"</p>
  
  <p>I'm really trying to convince myself that I should be switching to .Net but this is one of my concerns.</p>
