XP was selling new licenses at least through last summer In fact you can still purchase Windows licenses with the right to downgrade to XP, and will be able to for the life of Windows 7. I'm a sysadmin and I'm perfectly happy with XP for at least the next year or two. There's no great benefit from Windows 7 that would justify the major effort of reviewing all of our software for compatibility.
