MS not pushing out anything really new and unique in over a decade
Windows XP was a vast improvement for home users, and pretty significant for business users too, with more stability, more security and more support. If you think security is bad now then try supporting some average users on Windows 2000 and 98/Me machines. XP SP2 brought even more, and that was a free-of-cost upgrade.

Well, the one in mind is Win2K. It still never sold as much as MS had expected last I read.

It may be a bit more secure, but it's not secure by any means. Besides, I said new and unique, and nothing of the sorts has been put out by MS since Windows 95, everything else is only something power users/programmers/geeks care about.
