Tools to do a job
One thing often overlooked is for a business a server is a tool, it is not a shiny box that needs to be updated all the time. The business invests resources in setting up its machinary to do the job of the business.
Just because the tools are a few years old does not mean they do not serve the business. What would the world be like if you have to buy a differnet shaped screwdriver every five years and employ a huge team to go around changing all the screws. I appreciate this does not tie in with software and hardware providers income plans, but companies need to use the most appropriate tool for the job.
