It's also worth noting that there are a fair number of people (at least I know some) who use their old XP licenses for testing Windows software in VMs, especially if they're usually working in Linux or Mac OS X.
Do you, yourself do this?
Anywhere possible it would be nice to identify real, actual users rather than hypothetical proto-users :-).

Well, I haven't in a year or two, because I haven't needed to test anything on Windows in a while (mostly writing web stuff these days). But I thought it was worth pointing out. Perhaps of more interest (or perhaps not) is that I myself was running WinXP until about a year ago, and only really upgraded because I had some hardware fail and it's...unpleasant...to install WinXP on modern processors, since the XP installer doesn't seem to know what to do with multi-core processors (or at least the processor I was using). -- Kevin Horn
