I'm sure many of us have some older. Until recently, I had a DOS only machine. My current oldest is still running Windows 98. But I digress.
Some people (power users) I try to swap out at 3 - 4 years. Most go 5 or 6, some go longer (occasional email check or very light surfer).

How long do you folks keep PCs and laptops in your organizations? 4? 5? 6 years? My oldest are a few from 2006. I am thinking I should start replacing after they hit 5 years (4 years if heavy user/issues). I know it will depend on the business environment...I'm just trying to get some idea as to what others do.
