Computerworld Australia is running a story with a response from Microsoft to Infoworld's 'Save XP' petition web site, which has gathered over 75,000 signatures so far. Apparently Microsoft is aware of the petition, but says it is "listening first and foremost to feedback we hear from partners and customers about what makes sense based on their needs, that's what informed our decision to extend the availability of XP initially, and what will continue to guide us."

Then it's admitting Vista is a failure, why use a seven year old OS when we brought you a new one that we think is much better.
It's funny, Microsoft fixed alot what was broken with XP in SP2, the fix was simple on the security side. Microsoft fixed it that good that people dont want Vista and are happy with XP. Problem is Microsoft can't make much money off XP, they want all the people who have XP to buy Vista. The proper way to do it is keep XP broken and sell them Vista but they moved out their greed/evil zone and shot themselves in the foot doing it, poor Microsoft, Google and Linux really are making a impact on them.
