Microsoft has turned Windows into a de facto subscription service: All versions prior to XP are being deprecated. None will be supported after 3/31/05. Installation of XP, or following releases, will be required to receive essential security, functionality and stability updates.
(If you have an older XP-incapable computer you'll be SOL if you have to reinstall a previous OS version from the original disk(s) -- you will no longer be able to access the updates necessary to create an OS that is even marginally patched, stable or hardened.)
You're misunderstanding what MS mean by 'supported' - it means you'll no longer be able to get technical support on old OSs, and they'll no longer produce *new* updates. But the old updates will be available for much longer: there's still updates available on their website for Windows 3.1
