That is a good point. Since so many people and businesses still use
Windows XP _and_ since it *will* be supported through 2014 (albeit it in
a minimal way, but at least with security patches), it is odd that
Microsoft does not plan on issuing SP4 (or at least some sort of
roll-up).

To Dave and/or Rosanna:

No, that question was not unreasonable at all. :)
