Not true. You just don't have the correct drivers installed or the drivers don't operate the same in the different systems. Media Center in XP operates differently to Media Center in Vista for example. In vista the volume control on the remote works on any motherboard, in XP, on the same motherboard, is doesn't. This is a driver issue, vista has the newer drivers.
XP is still a fully supported operating system, it's vista that isn't fully supported. Especially 64bit Vista, which is what we need to support huge amounts of ram to process those pictures. iTunes only released a Vista 64 package last month for example, yet it's been here for nearly 2 years.
Each operating system has it's place and it's obvious when you have the wrong operating system doing the wrong thing.
