It's more good business sense than rumour it doesn't take a genius.
People might even be ready to start hijacking automatic updates. XP uses the very old way of a custom site and some activeX to launch the update methods. MS probably wants to stop supporting that crazy old site a soon as possible.

What was once an entertainment for a bright, bored youngster is now a trade, with tools and goals. > People might even be ready to start hijacking automatic updates. It's my hope that Microsoft will think of a way to prevent automatic updates from being taken over by just anyone after they close down the "real thing".
