Microsoft Windows XP Upgrade Consulting

MS Windows XP is nearing end of life.  This will force an upgrade cycle and consulting opportunities. 

For example:
Some Windows XP users just can't afford to upgrade
The problem was that the specialty software she uses that had been upgraded for Windows 7 required an upgrade fee of close to $10,000. Something tells me 15% off Windows 8 will not make up the difference for that cost.

From Slashdot conversation on that article:
Buy new machine running Win7/8, install free vmware/virtualbox, run specialist software in VM fullscreen.

You want support for a medical instrument / software -- you can't even theoretically take that to futureshop's geeksquad to sort out... but remote support via teamviewer/gotomypc/etc now saves shipping expensive equipment around or flying expensive technicians around in many cases. The equipment has to be online for that. Nevermind that they usually outsource IT because they're pretty small shops that can't support in-house IT, and remote admin / support for routine maintenance is a lot cheaper than onsite.
Meanwhile doctors want to be able to send exams to partners, manufacturers, consultants, and so forth. Doctors want to back up the data to the cloud.
The software itself has started moving towards cloud storage and cloud backup integration, and there are even patient management systems now that are SaaS.

Many Practice Management Systems are also responsible for billing... If they need send records to an orthodontist or other 3rd party provider, then the sharing of medical records through an HL7 interface is necessary as well.
