The XP security patches cease in April 2014. This is longer than I can plan for. It's probably 2 or 3 computer upgrades away for me.
I also for got to mention that some of my wireless network adapter also don't work with W7. I find it disappointing that large reputable manufacturers like Cisco continues to sell adapters that don't include drivers for W7. for example...

Microsoft also failed to include a driver in the W7 OS. Things like this make the adoption of new operating systems slow and bothersome.
