If I didn't have to use Windows for certain applications, I'd toss it in a second and use some flavor of Linux or BSD.

3 years is about the norm for windows:

MS-DOS: 1975 (7 years)
Windows 1.0 - 1982 (4 years)
Windows 2.0-2.11: 1987 (3 years)
Windows 3.0/NT: 1990 (4 years)
Windows 95: 1995 (5 years)
Windows 98: 1998 (3 years)
Windows ME: 1 year
Windows 2000: 2 years
Windows XP: 2001 (1 year)
Windows Vista: 2006 (5 years)
Windows 7: 2009 (3 years)
They always need something new for us to buy!
