Stephen Roach addresses this malinvestment in technology

he argues that the average worker loses at least 5 hrs of time per week due to MSWindows problems
I think his figure is too high
(my NT HewlyPack PC at work seizes up once every 3-4 weeks)
(my home Gateway laptopPC seizes up once every 2-3 days)

he argues generally that America invested badly in new equipment, figuring more is better
kind of like more debt
kind of like supersizing that order of fries at MacDonalds

now we have a society overloaded with debt
and a population with an average of an extra 40-50 lbs hanging off their asses

not only did corporate America invest badly in equipment, they reordered and updated with Gates of MSFT dictating each new cycle's arrivals
no longer

thanks for the CSFB info
I love to hear actual anecdotal info
