Yea, those that are bothered by this will simply roll their clocks back to 2009, if that doesn't work it's a matter of finding the registry key or other config setting that affects this. Worst case, and hack the exe so that it thinks it shutdown. Best case, people with either go back to XP or buy 7.
Something to think about, at least in some versions of XP the original (retail/upgrade) license even allowed for it to be installed on 1 Desktop and 1 laptop computer. This was removed in Windows 7 (and probably vista).

64-Bit XP is based on server 2003 code which is why driver support is lacking at best. While it is stable, it seemed a bit slower than 32-bit XP with some functions i use regularly.
I have some hardware that didn't play nice with 64-Bit XP (my sound card for instance) because the drivers were thrown together in a "good enough" fashion that required software from Nvidia and Realtek be installed to have full functional surround sound. Once both drivers were installed, I couldn't adjust the volume for channels individually without breaking sound all together, not a huge issue once it's known but a pain to figure out and get working initially.
Wow, I've had quite the opposite set of results, everything just worked and updated drivers were optional. Of course, I updated the drivers to get the 3d support and surround sound.

If it's close to as good as google's results i'm happy, obviously it won't be yahoo, but what about trueknowledge ? It's been in beta for a while and should be ready for primetime before to long.....
So? Fuck 'em. If users want advanced features, they need to use advanced software. There's absolutely no legitimate reason to still be using IE6 on the internet.
I have 2 SQL Server 2005 Instances, 1 oracle install, 1 websphere install w/ 2 profiles, and 3 jboss deployments installed on my laptop granted all of this isn't running at once, and it's only started when I need it, but I have at least 1 SQL instance running at least most of the time.
With all of that installed the biggest slow downs I see are Norton/Symantec and the backup software that was recently pushed out....

I guess that depends on who's trying to find you
