I tend to leapfrog software anyway. Annual updates of things like Quickbooks can be expensive with little gain. So I've been lucky to use Windows 95, 98 and XP while skipping the dead dog versions.
I'll keep XP on all our computers (wife and I each have a desk and a lap) until they die. As long as I'm going to have to re-load all my working software anyway, it might as well be on a new machine.
Rocky Hint 21B: Make a list of all the software you have loaded, especially those you seldom use. Remembering what to put on a new machine can be a booger. It wouldn't hurt to keep all the install packs in one place, either!
