Windows 7 forum: Should I consider upgrading to Windows 7 or 8, since XP support is ending soon?

Paraphrase of the old anecdote "I am not sure what you are talking about but we should upgrade ..."

"If you're going to get Windows 7, now's the time to get it because almost all new computers are being shipped with Windows 8 preinstalled."
"I'd think twice before switching three XP machines to Windows 7 or 8"
"If you stick with XP, you won't be able to get the updates to patch holes that people find."
"There's not really any urgency. You still have another year of official support."
