against their core interests

I think the problem here is a fundamental one ... much the same as my response to the Computacenter article earlier.

i.e. both companies (and others) have a vested interest in increasing hardware churn - that is to say making sure we all have motivation to replace hardware repeatedly (whether the replacement uses less power etc etc provides only a secondary benefit from an environmentally responsible perspective).

The real goal here mut be to 'reduce' the hardware turnaround - a good example being to adopt a thin client model so that desktop hardware hardly ever need replaced - no volume supplier (such as computacenter or PC World) will want this to happen.
