<rant> Is it just me or is Microsoft hurting themselves by not forcing their users to upgrade? I will agree that XP is a great operating system... However, it is almost 10 years old now. I think it's time we start to let go and towards the future. I will agree Vista was a flop but, 7 is a solid OS that should be the new gold standard for Windows Users. People hate change, so why would they want to change if Microsoft just keeps pushing back the date that businesses can buy it.
