Unfortunately, I think hardware probably has a higher profit margin than software. I wonder how many OEMs would really exist if their hardware had a projected lifecycle of 2 to 3 years.
I think MS could have made it easier for consumers update long ago. Perhaps even from the start, but what would be the incentive for your HPs and Dells to invest in this market if they couldn't sell hardware. I don't think the industry is adding that many new customers every year.
