Not really.
In the enterprise you run on a tight schedule which you're really not going to stretch that because your contracts are signed.
Even good SMB IT doesn't let you run too long as supportability becomes an issue. When rebuilding a machine costs as much in IT hours as half a new machine, it makes sense to simply upgrade rather than spend money on a diminishing resource.
Smaller businesses may hold on, but they're a tiny portion of what gets deployed.
