I think you have seriouisly under estimated that. think of the routers with distributed line cards then all the boxes that are soon to be a trash can job because they can't be upgraded.
Hmm. <looks around AS1312> 2 /16s, I'll be *generous* and say 100 interfaces that have full routing tables (it's actually probably closer to a dozen). But I have *at least* 30K user machines on my network that will all either be stuck on XP or buying a gigabyte or two each for Vista. Even if my 100K is off by a factor of 5 or even 10, that's still just a *pimple* on the RAM sales that will happen even if Vista *flops*.
