We have a boatload of ML150s (G2, G3) out there, probably a third of our population. These are usually running as file servers for document storage and Altiris servers, neither of which are considered mission critical, like our domain servers.
We are quickly retiring the ML150 G2s, as they seem to like to puke with MB problems... Remember - I'm in education, so money is ALWAYS an issue, especially when you have to justify something to a non-technical administration. If it's any consolation, we have a multi-million dollar contract with HP, so they are pretty aggressive in helping us to promote anything that would bring them more $$$.
