Organizations have been holding onto their existing PC clients (desktops and notebooks) longer for two reasons, money is scarce, and the systems in place have been doing an adequate job. However, an institution can stretch the replacement cycle only so far before it starts to cost itself money, in both hard dollars and opportunity costs. If an organization has not upgraded its client since before the Millennium, now is the time to get started. This IDC paper reviews the history of the PC refresh cycle, assesses its current status, and recommends that the time has come for companies to move to the next generation of technology.
