As a side comment, in many ways my Windows for Workgroup 3.11 with the Norton Desktop on my 16 MB 486 machine (still runs!) is faster than any modern desktop environment. I have that same environment cloned on a PI class machine and the system screams.

Hardware might improve at 2x the capacity every 18 months, but software seems to get 2x slower. :)

Every now and then I fire up my old OS/2 WARP 3 machine that I retired when I moved on to Linux back on 01-01-2000. For a 180 MHZ box, it sure does not make this dual-core, 2.2 GHZ workstation look like it's really doing 20x+ -times better performance-wise. :-)
