Windows XP no updates after April 14th 2009?

[Speeder.dk]

Hey,

I'm not quite sure about Windows XP EOL...
Microsoft says that Mainstream support ends April 14th 2009. But extended support goes on to 2014.
Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3223
Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP ... _lifecycle

What does that mean to normal users with a retail Windows XP professional SP3? Will we recieve updates after April 14th, or is this only given to e.g. netbook users?

Would appreciate some clarifation on this

I couldn't interpret it from these posts:

Microsoft will no longer take requests on improving nor give you live support. However, major security updates will still be released once mainstreem support ends.

Great! Just what I needed to hear... Don't need live support, as long as updates are carried out i'm happy ...
Thanks...
