When does Windows Update support end for XP Home?

I only download high priority updates using the Automatic Updates setting in
Control Panel. When will these updates no longer be available via Windows
Update?

Looking at the links that you sent, it looks like Windows Update support ends
on 4/8/2014 for Windows XP Home, for automatic updates. Or is it 4/48/2009?
If automatic updates only downloads security hotfixes, then I think the
4/8/2014 date would be correct.

It appears to me from the link http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/
that security updates continue through mainstream and extended support - 2014.

Only SP2 is supported. Support for both XP and XP SP1 have been dropped.
Also when SP3 comes out, the support for SP2 will change.
