Yes and no. I am now running an equivalent of a computer power that was once reserved for some dedicated government agency in early 90s[1]. I accept that some of that power is put to good use, but I do see wasted power in OS [2] and even games [3] on a semi-regular basis. For the record, "they don't make em' like they used to" is an absolutely valid complaint. Note that now even with SSD, ridiculous memory and cpu, websites still manage to stutter ( but I accept online is its own animal ). Part of me wants to go over Windows releases as an example of resource use across generations ( and how they leaped ). <<I distinctly remember experiencing major performance gains when moving to more memory than my system and apps needed to use and the move to solid state drives. But do you still see it or is that performance assumed now ( making lazy design decisions easier )?
