Re: It's more difficult for science

"Just you try convincing a manager in a university/hospital/reasearch institute to replace a perfectly working instrument or PC every couple of years just to keep up with the O/S"

Simple. Just tell him it WILL break very soon if he doesn't AND that ALL the replacements have the same problem. Unless they have the resources and guts to roll their own, the words "captive market" spring to mind.
