That is actually a very good thing. You can still use Windows XP
for a long time. You will most likely get Windows Vista on new
PCs soon but you can stick to XP with your existing PC.

Long term support for Linux is not that good. The paid support
for Redhat RHEL are actually quite expensive. Anyway I do not need
RHEL and the company will not move to RHEL anytime soon.
