Moore's diminishing Law: Software gets twice as slow every 18 months.
That's Page as in Larry Page, of Google. His law is the inverse of the Moore's Law: Software gets twice as slow every 18 months.
So in the end regarding effective speed we are running in place, though all are running on all sides at fast pace. Yes, Vista if 4 times bigger than XP. And 4 times slower. Moore kick in 2 cores in the meantime. Soon 4 cores to cope with software complexity.
Bad Hardware corollary: The only thing unbounded increasing are the bugs. Both, hardware and software.
