Scott, Re: "If you have a PIII, there's no need for a P4, likewise, if you have Windows 2000, there's not much incentive to move to XP." Except that this is not the perception of your average buyer. It's not your opinion that matters here, it's the opinions of the masses, and Intel marketing tells them they need a shiny new Pentium 4 on their desktop. wbmw

Scott, This is one of the more spectacularly dense analyst utterances I've ever seen. Average users (home, office word processing, WWW browsing) are unlikely to see much difference between a 1999 PC and a 2002 PC, particularly if they spend $60 and max out the memory on the older PC. When the industry pundits talk about increased PC sales next year because 70%, or something, of PCs will then be 3 or more years old, and there will be an incentive to upgrade, they're talking about corporations, not home users.
