Yeh Technical, but I’m comparing desktop against desktop. Of course the CPU/‘systems’ get faster and the newer the operating system the more resourses and functions we get and naturally I agree, if we take any one function (the Internet) the we have faster bus and port speeds. But you could also say for normal everyday use… ie simple WP for example, we have probably lost performance, not gained.

Every OS that MS brings out, says as it is loading… “the fastest yet”… not true. The more the hardware and firmware makers give us, the more the software grows and bogs us down again. Crikey, I’m getting old technical, but I still have old MSDOS and UNIX programs that will blister XP.

The trouble is, we all like the latest resourses and functions that newer OS’s provide us with an the software writers get lazy and bloat things out with ‘easy option’ coding… not the Avast team of course ;D
