win2k competing with XP?

i heard that some ppl prefer to wait for a service pack or two before even considering a switch. since 2k has 2 SPs and XP has none, wouldn't win2k be a preferable choice (i wonder if that's why MS is threatening to jack up the prices for those who are too slow to upgrade the second it comes out)?.

In the Corporate sector it's usually SP1 they wait for. Heck, I know people still waiting for SP3 to install 2000! 8) 8) These are the paranoid ones tho.
