So it's similar to "Andy and Bill's Law" [1]: "What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away". If Windows would stay the same (and not grow) it would be much faster on newer CPUs... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law

Interestingly, that link seems to say it was created for the opposite reason, that is, Intel was frustrated that Microsoft wasn't taking full advantage of their CPUs, not that bloat was steadily increasing.
