Hi,
I can only tell that our customers in automotive/avionics use XP a lot. Even after the M$ support expires next year, I guess it will take at least 1-2 years until it really kind of expires. If 5.3 and upwards will drop XP support, many people needing XP will be forced to skip new features (and non-critial bugfixes or perf. improvements that are not backported).
