All the Winterms I deployed in the field, dating back to 98, are the original
items (a small number may have been replaced - like-for-like by engineers but
all are the same model).
Up until very recently, I had some of the original server hardware in use. The
main reason for decommissioning some of it (and I'm talking about 200 Mhz
Pentium Pro server hardware) is simply management costs, and datacentre real
estate.
But the hardware still works and supports very similar loads to the original
implementation. It's only when you increase OS or application demands that
things become obsolete. But the investment my company made in the initial end
user hardware has not needed replacement. Nor will it likely do, before the
implementation is removed. And that won't be far off 10 years.
