The support life of XP has been published since day 1 so there is no conspiracy here at all - it's end of support life was not a secret. It might be "all of a sudden" to the general public, but to IT support folks they've known for well over a decade when XP was going to be retired.

All these things cannot be directly attributed to the end of support.
Has XP been that bad all these years? I don't think so. I can't help to think that here is "marketing" going on by Microsoft to encourage users to switch to Windows 8.
