Nothing wrong with Windows XP... been using it for ages now, and will continue to use it for ages even if Microsoft drops support for it tomorrow.
Why?
Because I've never contacted Microsoft for any issues regarding Windows XP, as it's stable and secure enough to consider working off in personal or corporate environment.
And you call going from WinXP to Vista or Windows 7 "upgrading"?
Bwhahahaaa! Aside from making a decent coin for Microsoft, or satisfying some internal need for faster, bigger, stronger, NEWER software on your computers, it's mostly a downgrade in terms of ROI and performance, so for our common-sense people it doesn't really make much sense (unless you really, really, really need an OS that will fully utilize all those multi-core intel chips in your desktops)
Most IT Admins wouldn't touch Vista or Windows 7 with a ten foot pole... I know those guys around here will hate their life if they ever have to migrate this computer farm of XP machines to Vista/7...

can someone refresh my memory and list application makers that have incorporated 64-bit processing and multi-thread (core) capability in their software?
Quick, how many, compared to the (ahem...) legacy single-core 32-bit?
I don't hear much noise from the business department, apart from manufacturers of x-core chips and x-GB DDR3 or 5 banks...
Maybe it's me trying to be the devils's advocate at the same time when I remember Microsoft offering coupons for free memory with an OS upgrade.
Where is my medication?
Honey!!!
