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.

a lot of people these days have nat routers in their homes, and while not fool-proof, they are a first line of defense against the wild and wooly internet. Most consumer routers also have firewalls. Hopefully, by the time XP is no longer supported, wireless routers will begin to approach wired routers level of security.
