I'd say Windows XP will slowly become unusable for very different reasons - namely, that it will become too hard to find hardware that works with it. It won't even install on harddisks of 100 GB or larger ... even if half the harddrive space is already reserved for another OS. Believe me - I've tried.
Personally, I'd be far more worried about hardware support than software support. And - currently - many users are still using computers they bought in the mid 2000s. There's nothing a new machine can do that their current machine can't ... at least, that's concerning their own computing needs (which would include Yours Truly). So they just stick with the old PC. And what does their older machine from the mid-2000s have? Windows XP.
