Funnily enough, here in NZ where businesses are typically of a
different scale to those in the States, that attitude has been the
commonplace for quite a few years now. Many customers here could
survive on a 520 for the next 10 to 20 years without thinking about
it. If OS upgrades didn't push some people off hardware they'd never
upgrade.
