So has anyone done a cost analysis on the point where it is an overall
win to replace those old power hogs even if they still work if you
consider several years of savings on power/AC/space/time and maybe the
possibility of replacing at least 4 old clunkers with VMs on a single
new box?   Or does no one look at the big picture - like the IRS
ending up paying Microsoft for 'custom' support of XP that they've
known for years had to go?
