So true. It is infuriating to know how much faster have become the last 20 years and to see how software manages to feel as slow as 20 years ago.
What makes it worse is developers keep harping on CPU/RAM being cheap and software on newer hardware is plenty fast to not only justify but promote bad software.
I wonder where they are seeing this "quick execution". I for one am unable to see it as hard as I try to look.
With Windows 10 and my i7, I usually expect a loading screen or two before I can use what I just clicked on (esp. Microsoft Office).
I believe the peak of user experience was Windows 98 sp2 when USB actually worked.
I miss how you could hear the computer loading stuff when the HD made the arm moving sound. When it took time to open "My computer" you could hear the floppy drive looking for a floppy and the delay was fine becouse the reason was obvoius.
I also miss the snappiness of Win32 GUIs just starting up in a heartbeat. No animations to hide bloat. If it crasched there was a blue screen and pushing the power button actually shuts down the PC power instantly.
Oh, and spamming ctrl-alt-delete resets the computer.
