Now - Microsoft - that's definitely planned obsolescense. They make

Microsoft would not lose a penny. They have a monopoly on the Windows
O/S market. If people start keeping their hardware for six years
instead of three MS will just increase the OEM price of Windows
accordingly and go happily on their way.
