Hmm, Windows 2000 had 4 Service Packs, by SaylorA2013-03-07 09:00:45
  Windows 8 will get a service pack by joecrouse2013-03-07 09:03:00
    They won't call it a S.P.; they'll bill us for it. by ShadowSystems 2013-03-07 13:15:55
It may only be cosmetic & address some random "features" that were too usefull (aka, "We forgot to charge for that! Quick! Kill it & turn it into a new product!"), and add a few new mouse pointers, cursors, & icons, but they'll *CALL* it a brand new version of Windows & *charge* for it.
They can't bill you for a "Service Pack", but they can charge whatever they like for a "whole new version".
So, even if it's really just a disguised Service Pack, they'll call it a brand new version, & swallow your wallet whole with a merry chomp.
