XP is dead? Long live XP!

Microsoft said today that it'll continue selling XP licenses but only for ultra-low notebooks. That's not what the Save Windows XP has hoped for, and most probably had nothing to do with them. Vista is bloated, and can not be possibly run on ultra-low notebooks, this has forced Microsoft to continue licensing XP for such hardware, else they'll completely forfeit this market for GNU/Linux based distros.
Doesn't surprise me one bit, people trust XP, it is the most stable Windows ever, has tonnes of hardware and software support, offers good compatibility with 9x software and hardware, and has compatibility mode. Vista has none of that.
