All your computers need are electricity. If nothing changes, they'll keep working. XP security support will continue until 2014, so that's not an issue yet either. The Russians knew how long XP was going to be supported when they bought it. That EOL date has been pushed out since then, so they already got more than they bargained for. What excuse do they have for not maintaining their computing infrastructure? If they don't want to buy Vista, they don't have to, but they shouldn't expect the alternatives to be free.
