I'm not advocating upgrading every time something is available. And if you have excellent equipment (like the Lynx or Aurora mentioned) and good skills, you can stay up and running for decades. But jumping from Windows 98 to Windows 8 would be huge culture shock. Jumping from protools 5 to 10, etc. That's all I meant to say. It's easier to stay in the loop every couple upgrades (and I don't advocate keeping up with beta release, just off the press stuff) than every 5. That said, there is a point to be made about spending 10 hours learning how to deal with the 5th upgrade vs 3 hours per.
And I also agree there's no wrong way to do it. But you can run into headaches when your 10 year old PC suddenly drops out because the power supply has burnt up the CPU and memory and your drives are old architecture that's hard to find support for.
BTW, if I had a $1700 Nuendo software package, I'd keep it for a while, too
