Comparing the content of your comment to the content of the article I would have to say yours lacks substance. If you think it's FUD, why don't you back it up with some proof.

To add additional FUD as you call it:

MS has been using tactics to coerce users to use Vista because, as the article states, there is no legitimate reason for most people to upgrade from XP.

MS normally supports their current OS and the previous OS. Why are they sun setting XP and leaving only Vista?

Normally an older generation of software is cheaper than the newer version. Pricewatch.com currently shows windows XP selling for 10-50% more than comparable Vista versions. Perhaps to compel people to buy Vista.

MS Finally released Halo 2 for the PC after two years as an Xbox only game. This was probably done to boost Xbox sales as the original Halo was released for multiple platforms. Originally the game would only play on Vista (are you seeing a trend) but after a hack came out to allow it to be played on XP, the software vendor promised to release an official patch for XP compatibility. There are other MS PC games being released as "Vista" only and I hope they get back-ported so that I can play them.

I am very happy with XP and look forward to the next OS version. I hope MS has learned something from the release of Vista.
