What organizations? Do you have an idea about how many small business and home users are still running Windows XP?

As far as they are concerned if it is capable of doing what they bought it for, why should they upgrade? Software doesn't wear out or breakdown like a physical good and a lot of the hardware is still fine. Those systems are going to be around forever until the hardware breaks down.

They are also committed to providing upgrades for their bigger customers, so why can't they extend to everyone else, as though it will cost them extra? The only caveat for the non corporate customers should be that if they are not under a support contract and the upgrades break their systems they are out of luck.
