CTC, A fundamental element has been overlooked. If you agree with Meathead's point, then I contend that the lowered cost of ownership ought to be the driving point behind the purchasing decision. Computers are no different than any other item used by businesses. They are bought as solutions for certain pre-defined problems. As utility decreases with each evolution, IT managers will become increasingly concerned about which points on the continuum are sensible. This is not only historical but predictive. Clearly, as employment expands, workstations will be acquired at more or less arbitrary points. But, the replacement of assets is altogether different. "Pre-defined problems" are just that. They are the result of business directives, competitive pressure, application requirements, etc. As a result, the IT manager must be predictive regarding how best to satisfy countervailing issues. The latest iteration of a workstation does not necessarily satisfy such requirements, and in some cases may be detrimental.
