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.

Vista-only software is the key to killing XP. See Halo 2 on PC. It's only been out for XBox1 for years and can be had for next to nothing now. It takes forever to turn up on PC, and lo, it's Vista only. PC gamers have been well & truly shafted.
I just wonder if too much Vista only software, too soon will wake people up and push them off Windows for good?
