I'll bet there are some nervous folks around MS these days. They have obviously put a lot of time, resources, and money into Vista, and all its versions. It could be that with XP they hit a wall where the masses are quite happy with what they have. I doubt the average person outside of the tech industry gives a hoot about Media Centers, and ripping DVDs...they turn on the TV and watch what is on, or rent a movie at the corner store. How many people are going to need the added functionality. It could be pretty disastrous if the majority decided to stay with XP.
