I don't understand why people think it's ok for basic, basic shit that would have ran fine on a Pentium 1 (and less) to now require what quite literally is a super-fucking-computer-on-the-desktop just to run acceptably. Seriously, what the fuck's the point of buying all this insanely powerful hardware if software just turns the damn thing right back into a fucking single-core P1? That's just insane. People are seriously fucking bat-shit crazy.
