Minor correction: Vista SP2 was released in 2009. 2008 saw the release of Vista SP1 alongside Server 2008, as well as XP SP3.

At the rate Microsoft is going with their OS cycle, I'm guessing XP is the last version to have more than two major service packs. Vista stopped at SP2 and 7 may not even get SP2 if there's no news by 2013.

I wonder how they're planning to update/refresh Windows going forward, starting with Windows 8, seeing as how WinRT is still an immature development platform. Waiting 2-3 years for Windows 9 would not be good. They need something more than what a service pack usually offers for a Windows installation.
