Just wondering, cause today I'm going to cancel my pre order for MW2 and order Bad Company 2 instead. Thanks.

no they won't. they are too stubborn and it would cost them too much money to change the entire online system.

Considering that they're still under Activision, they're not likely to add dedicated servers even if they wanted to.

Is it just me or are their sales on PC, well steam at least suffering because of this?

I'm just looking at the top sellers and borderlands and left 4 dead 2 keep going back on forth between the top position, then you have football manager, dragon age, dragon age SE, CoD4 (lol), Torchlight, TF2 and THEN MW2... for the self proclaimed biggest title of this year i would expect to see it in top position instead of struggling to stay in the top 10 above killing floor.

No, they won't change it.
They sounded fairly determined when they laid out their reasons for not having them in the first place, and they don't particularly care what gamers have to say - the game will sell millions either way.

No. IW know they are going to sell millions regardless of what they do to the game, so they are taking this opportunity to cut out parts like dedicated servers and map editors and hope that the general wave of "OMFG CODMW2 is teh R0XX0R5!!!111!!!" will drown out the threads pointing out the missing content.

They have too much invested in IW.NET. They won't be adding it.

Well one thing is for sure is that the game will die when IW creates another MP game focuses on that.

Hm..If sales drop, there's a tiny little chance. Or maybe if IW.net reveals itself as a problematic and buggy matchmaking system.
