I don't agree with that position either - note my work laptop, which
unfortunately runs Windows.  However, just to make a point, it runs
Windows XP Pro, and Office 2003 - hardly the latest and greatest that
Microsoft has to offer. A RHEL 5 desktop would provide me similarly
aged (or newer) software.

RHEL/CentOS also gets hardware enablement throughout it's lifecycle,
so the "newer laptops need newer software" only holds true through the
beginning of the Production 2 support phase at minimum, by which time
the next release of RHEL should be available (for RHEL 5, this date is
3/31/2011)
