You wanna know why computers need to be faster? MS Windows. You need a fast computer to be able to run that resource wasting program. And, you will run out and buy a faster computer when they create Longhorn or whatever it shall be dubbed.

We will see no net progress, really. A 20GHz computer running Windows2005 will be as slow as a 2.5GHz computer running MS WindowsXP, which is as slow as a 500MHz computer running MS Windows95. The footprint of programs will overshadow the gross progress.

Respectfully,
