Java Support ends for Windows XP
Oracle is no longer supporting Java for Windows XP and will only support Windows Vista or later. Java 8 is not supported for Windows XP and users will be unable to install on their systems. Oracle warns "Users may still continue to use Java 7 updates on Windows XP at their own risk" [1]

Oh, and as many, many know, JDK's 7 development kit had more holes in it that swiss-cheese during XP's cycle. But the new Eclipse will save the day..

Personally... I would be satisfied if Oracle were to can Web browser RUI support and Java webstart,
Or rather.... cease all "free public distribution" and require all Enterprise deployments to include a deployment ruleset with default deny, allow only specific certificates/URLs.
Many intranet applications need Java to be installed.
Many users are running insecure versions of Java 6 and do not have any support contracts with Oracle for access to the non-public security updates to Java 6.
