I could never figure out this pattern...

Windows 95 / NT (consumer/business)
Windows 98 - Three years for an upgraded consumer product.
Windows 2000 Pro - Five years for an upgraded business product
Windows Millenium - Two years for an upgraded consumer product
Windows XP / Pro (2001) - One year for a consumer and business upgrade.

I have to admit I really love Windows 2000 Pro - even better than XP Pro (too many bells and whistles).

I hope when Vista finally launches, it's a significant upgrade from XP / 2000. Bill would love to bridge the PC / Entertainment gap with this next product - maybe he wants to do it right.

Not to hijack this thread, but every time I look at the media center PC I have to wonder why no one (Dell HP / Gateway) is really jumping on this bandwagon. Are they waiting for Vista?
