I have been working in the POS industry since '04, I also have users that are up against the wall for that same reason. The solution was for me to become a Windows Embedded Partner and build Windows Embedded Standard 2009 kernel (pretty much same as XP Pro) for what ever machine they are on as PCI compliance demands that the operating system still be supported. Problem solved.
