they want to do this because unpatched illegal copies are given them a bloody nose when it comes to PR.
worms like sasser prey on people who cant or dont upgrade. of course you do need a legal xp key to install sp1.

I think its more likely because they brought about things like MSBlast on themselves...
There were a lot of PCs that wouldnt have hit at Microsoft, if they'd been allowed to update... they shot themselves in the foot, and have realised it.

Oh, there will be a tool to prevent that.
XP-Anti-spy perhaps?
But allowing to update will solve more problems than it causes, for sure.
