I'm all for people getting off of Windows XP sooner than later. But increasing the rewards for switching the closer we get has an inadvertent effect of making it less likely people will switch sooner than later. It encourages people to wait to see if they're going to continue to sweeten the pot as we get closer and closer. It would've been better to make a last and final offer once and be done with it.
