    Mine is older than the average. I think with the average now is a little longer than the answer given because of longer lasting software and that micros and memory speed has not doubled everytime you turn around as it did many years ago.

    It depends on when Microsoft, etc. wants to make one buy new software. Lol
    [consider this when buy a 'bargain' new computer - might have older gen. OS].
