I'm with you on moving to Win7. XP came out in 2002. MS usually has a 10 year life expectancy on its products. Not that they'll fail, but they go into extended support, then a year or two later are deemed end of life. Typically this can mean no updates, no support, and even the removal of self-service stuff like knowledge base articles for that product.
