Paul Thurrot writes about Windows XP SP3: "If you were 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. My guess is that Microsoft will do what it did with the final Windows 2000 Service Pack: claim years later that it's no longer needed and just ship a final security patch roll-up. This is the worst kiss-off to any Microsoft product I've ever seen, and you'd think the company would show a little more respect to its best-selling OS of all time."

Vista is slower, buggier and less compatible with common programs than Windows XP is currently, so it's not much of an improvement.
It will be approximately a year before Vista is ready to use, if past history with microsoft is any indicator. Until then, many people would LOVE to continue using WinXP but MS has started a campaign to snuff it out because they want to force people on their newer product despite it not being usable.
