Hopefully my next PC would allow me to keep pace with winXXXX for at least couple of versions. Not unless you are content to run today's applications. MS and others will drive complexity to the limits of the best computers, and beyond. Voice needs lots of horsepower. The 'chrome' demo at WINHEC this week was pretty impressive, but to run really well it will need 'at least' a 450MHz processor and 3D Graphics acceleration, and probably 128MB RAM. No way Bill will let the market stagnate for his buddies in the CPU and PC business - need to use up those cycles! and frankly the results are awesome - I would buy chrome today, along with whatever system it took to run it...

John, RE: "I really think we should elect Bill Clinton to as many terms as possible as long as he is spreading the wealth (by design or co-incidence)." We all know, with you being excepted, that the "Manchurian Candidate" who now occupies the White Whore House had and has a lot less to do with the current state of the economy than Chairman Greenspan and Ronald Reagan. Bush told us all in March, well before the November elections, that the economy had turned and was heading up. Folks like you and the non-financial press bit on the bait "the economy, stupid" and took it hook, line and sinker. So, direct your political drivel to another thread. RW PS Having a little or a lot of MSFT stock is not a prerequisite to comment about the company, positive or negative on this or any SI thread.
