"Just six months ago, Microsoft was making SP2 available to all XP users, 
legitimate or not, because the software giant considered its obligation to a 
secure Internet more important than company revenues. However, according to 
today's News.com report by Ina Fried, Microsoft has identified a reduction in 
unauthorized use of Windows as a key growth opportunity for the business. 
How's that for a change of heart? With free versions of desktop Linux getting 
better and better, Sun and Novell offering desktop productivity solutions for 
$50 per year, significant delays to the next generation of Windows, and what 
appears to be a lot of Windows upgrade resistance, I have to wonder if this 
is a signal from Microsoft that the Windows dynasty has finally run out of 
gas. What do you think?"
