Depends on what your needs are and the environment.  We are still using laptops 
running 2000 pro for logging at field day.  Work great.

One problem with perpetual licenses is that they create no ongoing cash flow.  
To get more money you need people to buy new product.  Thus it makes business 
sense to obsolete the old stuff as soon as you can without angering the 
customer base.  Some of us drive 20 year old cars around town.  As long as they 
do what is needed there is no need to buy new no matter how much the dealers 
try to convince us that our image is damaged by the rust spots and holes.
