They're not "major" enough to charge money for. And XP SP2 is pathetically late.

HAL, apparently you haven't looked at what's being included in SP2 -- because it certainly is a major update. You're just a little sensitive because every time Jobs pulls your leash and demands a few bucks, you have to ante up. I can understand why you'd be sensitive. I wouldn't want to pay for updates, either.

Even after SP2, Windows will continue to be a second-rate operating system.
