If you don't have SP3 the support ended this last July.
I can't seem to find anything that is set in stone for those who have SP3.

Thanks Platypus. I saw this date as well, but couldn't find any publication by Microsoft to confirm this.
Where did you read this?

Extended support (the provision of security patches) ceases 08/04/2014 for most varieties of XP. Support for embedded XP (devices with XP in ROM or Flash memory) continues until Jan 2016.

Thank you. I gave it a blurry eyed attempt late last night and didn't find what I was looking for. Glad to see the date that I had found previously is substantiated.
