"Win XP has such a huge installed base and so much software out there
for
it that it's unrealistic for Microsoft or anyone to think that the
'next' OS would NOT be almost completely compatible with XP. Drivers?
Maybe that's a different story, but not out of the question. The
software itself? There's no excuse for it not to work if it was written

properly in XP."

I suspect that MS may actually do an Intel (drop P4 and step back to P3
for new processors). Vista may be dropped in favor of a simpler XP
update. Last thing I read about SP3 suggests that it will be
incorporating some advancements from Vista. Perhaps they recognize that
people will not be migrating over as quickly as previously thought.
