I have a friend who used to work for Microsoft in the area of performance monitoring of the operating system itself. He was laid off three years ago. Microsoft is more interested in new whiz-bang features and components than in performance improvement. I guess their thinking is that the hardware developers will always find ways to speed up the CPU and then complaints about the software's performance will go away for a few more years.
