Windows 8
Although the release of Windows 8 is a long way off (indications suggest late this year) there is an opportunity for you to try out Windows 8 and see what all the fuss is about.
From the screenshot you can see that the start button has gone and has been replaced by the metro style interface.
If you want to install it - it can be run on a standalone machine, as a dualboot, or via virtual methods (VMware, VirtualBox and Hyper-V) Note: It does not work with VirtualPC due to the changed kernel in Windows 8.
I installed it quickly and easily using VirtualBox

The developer release Windows 8 files were available here

Support for running Windows 8 in a virtual environment is available here

Windows XP to Windows 7
Its now just 800 days until Microsoft officially stop support for Windows XP.
With a typical organisation taking 18-24 months to plan and deploy Windows 7 now is the time to think about it.
With this in mind - there may be an opportunity for you to deliver tailored short courses covering this topic to local businesses.
There are a number of (free) resources and tools that can assist with the migration to Windows 7
First of all, start by downloading the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). It removes the need for disc imaging, migrates your data in place during deployment, and (best of all) it’s free.
Some other tools to help make your move from Windows XP to Windows 7 easier include:
