The OP indicated quite a high price tag. It would be one thing if you could say, "If we upgraded this to Windows 7 then we could not be attacked by malware", but that isn't the case. While I generally agree with you, $1 million is not a small amount for something that doesn't guarantee you anything.

However, it is indubitably true if malware gets into your network, given the out of date OSes and applications being run, that you could easily have a disaster on your hands where so much damage was inflicted that rectifying the situation could easily equal or exceed the cost of getting all of your kit up to date, if not outright put the company out of business. And just one person with a USB stick could get it done, or, depending on the architecture of the network, possibly an errant email or web browsing session. The latter scenario depends on the user network connected to the manufacturing network, which is all too common. *That* was the point of my comment.
