I'm well aware of the issues regarding legacy software.  My point was
that XP is a better OS, not that your old software should work on it
without any problems.  There are companies and individuals still running
DOS, not because it is "better" but because they either can not or will
not update the old software.  The company I recently retired from still
runs component insertion machines with CP/M for Pete's sake.  Sometimes
you have no choice.

The original poster said his employees "hate" WinXP.  I would suggest
they focus their "hate" not on the OS, but on the old software which
will not run on XP.  But that's just my opinion.  Feel free to "hate"
whatever you like.
