»New Service Pack For XP

And it only gives new activation keys for the older operating system. <a href="http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/feature/FB66F9354CECAFA1CC25733500728C08">Think it is a bit weird that Microsoft wants more copies of this instead of Vista</a>? Not at all. Vista sucks.

Microsoft has had to create a new build of Windows XP Professional for computer makers because the six-year-old operating system's continued popularity has nearly exhausted the supply of product activation keys. The new build, dubbed SP2c, includes no fixes or feature changes, but was created simply to address the shrinking pool of product keys. XP Pro SP2c, which has been released to manufacturing, will be made available to OEMs and system builders next month, said Microsoft.

I'm thinking that Microsoft attempting to force use of Vista will be all the more painful than it ever was for, say, Windows 98.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

Vista has its problems. But I think that the main reason people don't want to upgrade is the cost factor. I think the second reason is that in order to use it, most folks would have to seriously upgrade their hardware. Which goes back to the first reason - cost.
