If XP support isn't extended then that might be a good option for you to consider.
MS have been making a huge push to get people off XP so that they can stop supporting it - hence the naming of a date (which they have pushed back already I think). I read somewhere that they are very happy for people to migrate to Win 7 if they don't fancy 8 but just want them off XP.
