My client will have XP for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.  They 
can still get support from MS but it is going to get more and more 
difficult to service them.

They've been talking a major upgrade for some time but that involves a 
lot of new hardware and construction.  The last I heard was maybe by the 
end of the year.  I'll have lots of work if they pull the trigger but 
till then it's XP :-).
