As many are aware, XP is no longer supported. As a result, vendors have really stepped up support for Windows 7. In fact, without future updates I would recommend anyone who uses XP at their business to consider upgrading to windows 7.
Audit your processes, contact your vendors and determine which systems can be upgraded to 7. Create a test system and run your apps in a test environment before you deploy and be mindful of the costs associated with renewing or obtaining licenses for Windows and you vendor software. If you can do all of that, there is no reason to be using XP especially when the lack of support opens your system up to security risks.
