I could see XP being called ancient if it didn't do what we needs it to do. So far everyone is able to launch their software from their desktop icons, print, and surf the web.

As for security...getting viruses seems more like an environment and user issue. In the 6 years I have been here I have maybe seen a handful of virus or malware issues. Viruses and malware usually come in to play when users use their work PC for personal use.

In big environments you are not likely using Windows 7 to manage updates.

Going to Windows 7 is inevitable...I am just not in a big rush to go there when I know there will be bugs, software that won't work yet, and no real must have features for users...it seems like more work than trying to get everything in order before moving to Windows 7....although I know that is not always possible.
