Tom's Hardware reports on an Avast Antivirus study which found that ~24% of their customers still used XP, and of those, 27% didn't plan to upgrade.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has cut the price of XP patches by as much as 95% for those corporations and governments that haven't yet moved on. The model now seems to be a "new ceiling is $250,000, according to several sources, although the $200-per-device price remained in place." That ceiling is down from $5 million just a few weeks ago. Those patches, by the way, are not available for the general public.

XP X64, AKA Win 2K3 X64 Workstation, WILL run most of your 32bit software but will NOT run 32bit drivers. But as long as your hardware isn't rare you should be able to find 64bit drivers for it. Oh and it works great in VMWare as both host and guest, although for VMs I prefer the "Tiny Windows" versions.
