I'm not surprised. I figure in 5 years 7 will replace XP on most business machines.

Over here, we're forced to go to Windows 7 before they quit releasing updates for XP

We have it in testing phase here for now, not looking forward to the masses getting it.
They cannot even remember their passwords from 10 mins ago let alone most who have never used anything other then XP.

XP is supported until 2014. Although it baffles me that you still want to use it.

Windows 7 is the OS that I think will finally replace Windows XP so I am not suprized to see this. I am hoping we start moving to it in the environment I work in. Though most users are not as common sense blessed as we all would like, Windows 7 is a solid OS and for obvious reasons Windows XP can't and won't last forever due to support issues in the future. Eventually a migration has to happen so I am ready to get it over with now.
