@larry@... The sooner Windows 7 can actually support all that expensive custom in-house software that XP supports (no, XP Mode doesn't come close to cutting it in many cases), the sooner you'll see businesses abandon XP en masse.

Microsoft extended that extended support out of self-preservation... and it's very likely they'll be forced to extend it even further, or face losing market share.
