It wouldn't surprise me if that too is extended.  XP is probably the best loved version of Windows and many users, especially businesses, don't want to upgrade.

One more reason for clinging onto XP is its compatibility with software that supports the Mini-disc format.   

Whilst Windows 7 otherwise undoubtedly rulez, those of us who still enjoy using our beautiful Sony MDS-JB980 machines will be happy to retain an obsolescent lappy for as long as may be necessary, simply to feed this weird obsession.

I never saw the attraction of mini-disc.  It's lossy, isn't it?
