With the new expected dates for Windows 7 has anyone found an
authoritative link on the availability of XP after 6/30/2009 other than
that it will be a "downgrade" option as well as Vista with new Win7
systems? I've read the Life Cycle site at Microsoft but it still
contains the 6/30/2008 OEM and 1/31/2009 Builder cutoff dates and
hasn't been updated.

In other words will Retail and OEM copies be available or do
distributors still have to pull them?

I've read that volume-license customers will still have the right to use
new copies of XP but haven't seen any updates on other new copies.
