"The thing is that people working on xp cost money, they cost time. Both of those could be spent doing something that makes Microsoft money or at least advances a product that is not 3 OS releases back."

True, but those people are needed to continue to support XP Embedded. So some of the work is being done...

Note: I'm not hankering after running XP, but I am realistic about the effect of the $200 per screen annual tax on mega-corp computers. That isn't going to win friends and influence decision makers lets just say.
