One week before its end of life, 28 percent of Web users are still on Windows XP
 
Windows XP will receive its last-ever security update on April 8 next week. After that, any flaws, no matter how severe, will not be patched by Microsoft, and one would be well advised to not let Windows XP machines anywhere near the public Internet as a result. In spite of this, 28 percent of Web users were still using the ancient operating system in March.

We are not upgrading supposedly because the lack of money since it also implies new machines.

if your machine can run WinXP, it will actually be as fast on Win7, and even faster on Win8!

we got a volume license agreement @ work with software assurance, which means that only amount of installs count, not the version of the software

also gold partnership gives you 50-100 "free" installs of their latest soft!

The machines are about 7 to 10 years old and I do not think it does worth it to throw new OEM licenses at some machines that are not so reliable on the long run. They do not run XP very good either (Celeron 1600MHz (P4 era), P4 1.6GHz and so on).
