Jack, >> Yow, that's just the point I'm trying to make since day one: Since >> we screw up the software, you get to buy the bigger processor… I think "screw up" is a little strong. I think it's just a race. Software (OSs in particular) are almost always trying to catch up to the hardware. The only time I can think of when this wasn't really true was when we had Win30 running on 386s. Then SW was ahead of HW. Since SW is lagging the only cure you have is to make it work better (read faster) by buying faster hardware. Which then puts the SW even further behind, ad infintum… >> If those guys would realize the full potential of the processor, we >> wouldn't even be giving them any gripe… I think you're asking the HW and SW vendors to work together. MS has enough FTC problems without opening *that* can of worms.
