I think people would like to know the remaining life of their hardware. You dont wanna be in a situation where you're rushing an important project in the middle of the nite & all of a sudden, *zap*, your processor drop dead... & bye bye to your job... | |

Seriously, if it dies after say 3 years (warranty period for both Intel and AMD if I'm not mistaken), it's time to get a new one. Just imagine how slow the processors were 3 years ago... My current company has a policy of "must change your computer in 3-4 years". Excellent! |

True. And I feel that it's not really efficient because you're not able to use it to its full life.
