Hopefully you have extended security updates or use zeropatch.
Admittedly I have a test rig running windows posready 2009, aka w7 with esu cooked in from the beginning for contractual reasons. It is a bit like running windows xp embedded b on a normal desktop but seems good enough that I could use it as a daily driver if I wanted to.
I gave up and installed it on some machines. Feels like a damn upgrade! Unified, customizable UI, better performance, better Search, local accounts, smaller footprint :D
