Is it time to replace that aging 2 year old PC with something more modern?
The executives of a number of tech industries think so.
A new initiative called "PC Does What?" has been released to help try to convince people to replace their aging hardware with something new, something modern, something Windows 10.

Does anyone here believe they are now more likely to buy a complete desktop/laptop/or tablet/phone replacement after receiving such words of encouragement to ditch the old and start lease payments on the new?

I am like minded. I buy 5+ year old cars, never financed. I buy used computers in small matched lots, that way I have backup machines and parts for everything. If something dies I grab the next one off the shelf and go back to work, and fix the broken one the next time I get bored. Software and data are backed up in triplicate in different corners of the house. The only thing I overspend on is a couple meals a week at restaurants where the food is far better than what I can make for myself.
The terrorists have won, game, set, match. They've scared the people into electing authoritarian regimes.
