I guess the root of the problem is that no windows software maker, Microsoft or otherwise, wants the initial loss of customers that would result in not making it compatible with windows xp. On my windows xp machine there hasn't been a single piece of software I've wanted to use which wouldn't work without an upgrade. If there was something key it probably would convince me to upgrade. I've used and don't mind windows 7 just there has been no compelling reason to change.
