Imagine what it would be like by now if all software had kept up the early ratio of what could be accomplished per kilobyte of memory and per megahertz of processor performance. Especially per kilobyte of code itself. Now it takes GB and GHz to accomplish the same office work as 30 years ago, and the UI responsiveness is slower by comparison. This should have only improved as more advanced hardware was deployed, so the root cause has got to be a defective software approach(s) over the long run. Not the promising brave new world that seemed like it would make interactions with PC's orders of magnitude better by the time the 21st century came along.
