POS aren't about security, they are about pretty touch screens and 
more bells and bibbles than santa's sleigh. Oh, and Comic Sans, but
if
you remove that, the OS won't boot ^^!

This is a fair point, but the reasonable security argument to make isn't
that running XP is a bad thing, but that running any system improperly
configured is a bad idea. Pretty touch screens are not incompatible with
good system configuration.
