Mainstream support ended in 2009. Extended support till 2014.
See this for dates.
And see this for explanation on the difference between mainstream and extended.

Don't know about others but I don't blame XP users. I'm just curious as to why the decision by gamers and developers...but you explained it well. Thanks

It's a 32 bit game, so Win7 or XP in 32 bit...how much different can they be? The 64 bit Win7, I don't even think it get utilized to potential as 64 bit op system. My mom and my sister has win7. I don't see what is so great about it. XP I know about. It works and is reliable. I don't need to have an intimate relationship with my operating system with sparkles.

Others can tell you about the boost in CloD with W7. It's a clear boost but I can't say by how much.

+1. This was one feature I was really looking forward to.
