Windows "After many rumors as to when Windows Vista would get its much-anticipated first service pack looked improbable, Microsoft has finally dropped SP1 on the masses. SP1 rolls together 23 security updates and 550 hotfixes into a 434.5MB download (726.5MB for the 64-bit version). Apart from improvements brought by individual updates that are now part of SP1, changes that SP1 brings by itself to Microsoft's flagship OS are numerous."

It's natural.

Microsoft is a company, its goal is to make money.
They have to push new products, and stop supporting old ones (not because they are bad, they just need people to buy new ones so they can meet their commercial objectives).

I'm just glad, that they will release XP SP3 (maybe last SP for XP).

XP has all the features i want for a OS, so i'm not upgrading until Microsoft makes me...

How dare you interject logic into a conversation about operating systems. Let's get back to reality: Windows Suxorz! Linux is w00t!!

(I'll be installing Vista Ultimate in a few weeks, dual-booting with Fedora Core 8 (yes, I use both)).

Wow. It's like the comedy just writes itself around here.

Really though, how do you feel about the fact that you'll be using the two most bloated operating systems in existence on the same hardware? That wasted 22GB taste good?
