How often does the average PC last? I know from my own expereince that I was forced to buy a new PC when I went to XP. Remember 4 years ago I tried running XP on my former set up and I simply did not have enouigh RAm and the new applications wouldn't really run on well enough on Windows 2K. Also Internet explorer 7 will not run on XP now too! This is the biigest thing that pisses me off about MS . Almost Every time they bring out a new version of word or whatever I am effectively forced to upgrade to new version of word or excel and these certainly are not cheap. On top of this I find I need a faster computer to run theses apps. This planed obsolescents imy experience means an avearge life of about 3-4 years. Now I also bought 7 years ago a mac lap top. It is still running as fast as the day I bought it and in some respects it actually runs faster due to the fact that Apple has made the OS faster. I'm going to buy a new core duo MAc soon and I expect it to last at least 5 years and form what I have heard the new OS due out this summer has a performance speed up of some significance. I am not an Apple fan boy, I use both systems and I think Apple is a lot cheaper because not only is the OS cheaper at $129 but I'm not forced to upgarde mu hardware as many times as on PC hardware The argument that a windows based machne is cheaper is on the face of it an incorrect assertion , however one fact seems to have been missed.
