XP UPDATES ON APRIL 9. WERE THEY JUST BLOWING SMOKE?

In spite of all the hype about the sky falling for XP users starting on April 8, here is a screen shot of a system being fed Microsoft updates on April 9. Are they still supporting it after all?

Was the whole thing just scare tactics? That is unmistakably the updates shield in the lower right.

UPDATE: They even offered a patch for the critical Internet Explorer flaw to XP users on May 1. That was nearly a month after the so-called cut off date.
How long can Microsoft continue to make idle threats before we all conclude that their word and 79 cents get a cup of gas station coffee?
