A very small percentage of users ever upgrade/replace their operating system. Most just stick with what came pre-installed on their computer (which, of course, is where MS dominates). However, there has been some backlash and several manufacturers continue to offer XP - so maybe selling your stock isn't such a bad idea ;-) As for the Seattle Sonics, I still have hope that the parties involved will find a way to save our team.
