It isn't quite that simple. I'm working with a large multinational that has tens of thousands of XP machines, some of which run in-house LOB apps, but many of which are just used for mail and Office. The upgrade effort (never mind the expense) is huge, and there has to be a compelling case to move on from XP... which there certainly wasn't for Vista. Win 7 is gradually being adopted but it is taking a long time. So while I can appreciate Microsoft's desire to move on from supporting apps on XP, it means that there is at least one large customer who won't be able to adopt VS11 for development.
