It’s funny that even cloud hosting and such didn’t drive more responsible resource usage. We could easily have 10x-100x more utilization of cloud servers if the software was leaner. Imagine a single server hosting 10000 VDI instances concurrently with high performance. Sounds insane but Windows, Word, Excel were usable on a 16MHz 386 with 2MB RAM and 20-40MB storage. Systems today are literally 10000X as powerful (without even getting into the CPU architecture and cache improvements).
