Al Gillen, Program Vice President for IDC's System Software Research team, provides an overview of the IDC White Paper Mitigating Risk: Why Sticking with Windows XP is a Bad Idea published in May 2012.  In this short segment, Al covers the business and operational benefits associated with a move to Windows 7 and why remaining with Windows XP is no longer a good business decision.  Costs tend to soar when older products are used beyond their intended lifecycle, and IDC research has clearly confirmed that trend.
