It depends. Most of our problems with compters come from the assumption that a computer is a device with a screen and keyboard that allows a user to interact with the outside world using either a general purpose web browser or specialist browserlets that are known as 'apps'. If the computer's doing a job then if it worked 10, 15, 20 years or more ago it will still continue to work today.
Continuously upgrading makes software unrelaible because the upgrade cycle becomes shorter than the test cycle.
