Yes, sure, they'll do it - for a fee. I suspect that the time will come
when MS will no longer allow OEM licenses for XP, particularly if Vista
looks like it's going to crater otherwise.
It's really too bad they didn't just present updates or refreshes to XP
instead of trying to convince us that Vista was this great new thing.
Meanwhile, they could have continued working on the original Longhorn
concept, which was supposed to be as revolutionary with respect to XP as
Windows NT was vis-a-vis Windows 3.x.
Alas, marketing imperatives overcame technical arguments, and Longhorn
may never come to be.
