Since day one, guess what, it is still happening. Just had to fix it for a friend this weekend. Funny thing is I have seen the same issue on a test machine I have which is dual booting XP and Vista.

In my (admittedly limited) understanding, demand for XP is actually quite a bit higher than for Vista.
(Though this seems to be borne out by things like people paying $100 more for a Vista license so they can downgrade to XP.
)Replacing a very popular product with a much less popular product is corporate suicide (imagine if Toyota discontinued the Corolla line and replaced it with a Hummer line -- Honda would be very pleased).
The only way a company could get away with this is if they are in a monopoly position.
And it's reasonable to consider that an abuse of that monopoly power to do so.After all, Microsoft's monopoly does not give them the right to foist garbage upon their users year after year.My office has XP machines, I know they work with all my software and I the people here are comfortable with that OS.
If "Windows 7" (like Vista) doesn't offer sufficient enhancements over XP, why should I be forced to purchase an inferior (for me) product in order to get a new computer?</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>Nobody relied on solely Ninja Turtle cereal to obtain their living. One could argue that XP is a vital component for a lot of businesses and that by artificially restricting it as MS is doing, you are forcing them to incur an unnecessary cost.  This is essentially saying that MS is a utility service and their actions are analogous to the phone company forcing all land line users to purchase new land lines just because they are old (and not necessarily in need of replacement).  I don't necessarily view this as correct, but MS doesn't have too much sympathy from me because they're ditching an OS that people want to buy and somewhat arbitrarily forcing people to buy a new one that isn't as fast.</htmltext>
