I just had a visit with my doctor about two weeks ago and his small office was going through an upgrade to Win7 OS from XP for their medical office software.

Indication that there are likely some small business/offices that are still reliant on XP and will likely be scrambling to upgrade. I know a lot of smaller businesses tend to go with specialized/boutique firms/consultants/software 'specialized' for their needs. Let's hope for them their POS systems will run on Win 7/8/2K8.
