There is no compelling reason to upgrade computers in offices since everyone did it in late 1999 and early 2000.
Unless you are a graphic artist or multi-media developer, there are few reasons in an office justify that kind of power.


Agreed
how about two complelling reasons not to upgrade
1) Cost
2) XP

XP is going to kill the upgrade market IMHO.
Who wants it?
Who needs it?
It will lock companies into a forced maintenance cycle.

Not gonna happen.
