Five? No. But two or three? Very possible - and one of them is likely to be a laptop.
To be totally honest I can't see me dropping about a grand in Canadian funds to upgrade 3 desktops and a laptop. First off for the laptop, I think before I spend multi-hundreds on a new OS I'll buy a new laptop. Our laptop is fairly low end, so why spend big bucks on an OS. It comes down to upgrading one at most.

I have a feeling this may be the case for many households. XP has been very solid, and does what most households demand of it. The need to upgrade is not as great as it was in older versions. We may have more computers in our houses now, but they don't all need to be upgraded.
