From the Product Activation 
FAQ, located about halfway down the page:

"Will Microsoft use activation to force me to upgrade? In other words, will Microsoft 
ever stop giving out activation codes for any of the products that require activation?

No, Microsoft will not use activation as a tool to force people to upgrade. Activation 
is merely an anti-piracy tool, nothing else.

Microsoft will also support the activation of Windows XP throughout its life and 
will likely provide an update that turns activation off at the end of the product's 
lifecycle so users would no longer be required to activate the product."
