Regular Maintenance vs. PC Refresh
Replacing hard disks and power supplies at 3 year intervals is good maintenance. Just like replacing worn out tires before a blowout. Yes, GM wants you to buy a new car instead of replacing the tires.

PC Refresh is buying a brand new machine to fuel sales for Intel and the system vendors. The scare about increased virus exposure on older hardware is complete poppycock.

As Windows XP becomes harder to get, a PC Refresh will more than likely stick you with Vista or Win7. This may/may not be suitable for your needs.

Empty the ash tray, replace the tires, keep the machine.
