To upgrade from XP you need to upgrade hardware. Upgrading server
OS is cheaper than upgrading all workstations in organization.
All of our server systems are on Ubuntu LTS, and it's a major
event to update the OS. We try to minimize that.
Sure upgrades can't be done often, but for XP it's even less
often, than for the server, it runs since 2002 :)
