I suppose at some point the OS source code would get so convoluted from all the patches that you're better off starting from scratch.
Not if Microsoft simply slipstreamed a comprehensive XP Service Pack 3 into a DVD that allowed you to install any version of Windows XP that you had a legal Product Key for. They could sell those DVD's for around twenty bucks (including shipping). At the outset, a selection screen would appear that listed all versions of Windows XP on the DVD. It would have a place to enter your Product Key. If you had selected the wrong version, it would tell you. Better yet, it could select the correct version from the Product Key you entered. Far too simple, right! Not near as much profit to be made as will be with Vista.
A yearly auxillary DVD containing all popular drives up to that date would be handy, also. It could be shipped along with the SP 3 DVD.
