You can blame the game nuts for that.
The sighted like using powerfull games which need that power.
As for upgrades all stuff needs to be upgraded, storage hardware, security etc.

Do they really have to continually upgrade the operating system and
programs, making more power hogs, making us buy more powerful
computers to do the same tasks we were previously doing but having
to use more powerful processors and use more of the resources to do
those tasks? Why can't they just leave well enough alone once they
get a system that actually does what it's supposed to do?

Hi Alex.
As I said I'm not annoyed that Microsoft update their os, they
have to, even if we don't like some of their decisions on interfaces etc.
it just seems though that they don't give a dam about running older
programs, games or anything else, they just claime "newer = better"
it seems without actually considdering what people want their
computers for, namely to run programs.
comador didn't do this with their os or machines, even with
compltely new hardware, going from amigar 500 to 1200.
Even the big console developers are realizing that people like
running their old games, hence the wii virtual consoles, virtual
arcade and other such software versions of older games stil
available on modern machines.
Microsoft though just seem to expect everyone to update, buy their
products and cope, because newer is always better in their opinion.
for myself, if i could be certain all my games and other
applications would work under windows 7, I'd be much less wary about updating.
I just see this as a case of not listening to the customer and
doing their own dam thing and expecting everyone to cope simply
because they are a big fat company who just care about the prophit.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
