Xp losing support is also the reason for me to upgrade soon. I don't demand much of it though, since I have Mandriva for video, textwork, browsing, mail, music and all things you do with any os. I just use windows as a console to play games, it gives me a fast and clean os which isn't glogged up like I used to have when I only used 1 os to game and do everything with.
It might also be noted that I have a english version of xp I once paid 12 dollars for on ebay, so I will most likely have to upgrade with an us copy too. I just hope my english is good enough to understand win 7 though, i already get confused by what they mean with that start button in xp
