looking for any glimpse into the mind of Microsoft, this is it: The company
has completely abandoned Windows XP, and it has absolutely no plans to ever
ship an XP SP3." The majority of the Short Takes have already been posted up

Well, how else is Microsoft going to convince its users that they MUST
upgrade to Vista? They certainly haven't been convincing them because of
the merits of Vista.

That is Paul Thurrotts assumption, he is not Gospel. And it would not be
considered abandoned if they are providing a Roll up Pack. XP will be
supported until 2008 with main stream support until about 2010, XP Media
Center I read is supported until 2013 not bad compared to competition.
Novell and Redhat support their distributions of Linux for 7 years, Apples
OS X, a new version obseletes the old version and based on their release
cycles its really quick.

are you suuuuurrrreeee you don't work for ms??

"Support" is different than making a service pack my little feathered parrot
friend.

Something is happening behind the MS doors... and it involves vista, a lot a
yelling fighting and bad tempers....

A service pack includes mostly updates and security fixes. MS is providing
both for XP and will do so for some time. If you like, you can collect all
of these, zip them up and call them a service pack.
