10 years of single OS support isn't bad at all.... it really bodes well 
for the longevity of the hardware as well as the superiority of the 
architecture design. Good marketing helps, too. 

Trivia time? What would be the longest supported/produced architecture? 
Probably DEC's VAX or PDP-11 line? [ I don't know the answer ] Any other 
ideas?
