In answer to your questions:

"Is your organization thinking about or planning the migration from Windows XP to Windows 7?"

No. We're planning a migration from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Not because there is anything wrong with our Windows Vista deployment (our Vista deployment went perfectly smooth, and support and maintenance costs are severely reduced over XP), but we want to stay up to date, and new PC hardware will take advantage of Windows 7, so we want all systems to be the same to reduce support training.

"If so, does the availability of this type of approach look like a viable alternative?"

No. The cost of the hardware is too much, and dual-booting OS X (even in an integrated virtualization system like this) provides no value over Windows running natively on cheaper PC hardware.
