And why in gods name would MS care about drumming up interest in hardware upgrades? Last I checked they didn't market any of the parts that actually need to be upgraded regularly. Intel, Seagate, and the Dramurai owe their businesses to MS pushing upgrades. But MS doesn't get squat from that side of things.

Yes, they do. It's a wonderful endless cycle: 1. Always supply an OS that taxes the hardware to it's limits. 2. People become dissatisfied with slow performance, buy new, faster hardware, which comes bundled with a new OS. 3. Profit. 4. Repeat as needed.
