I guess nobody ever bothered to use older hardware with a clean install of
older Windows (retail not the OEM bloated versions) and use older apps to
get work done? Its not like your old apps quit working when a new version
comes along.
Personally, when I get asked "how can I make my computer go faster?",
I tell people, "type faster. It's waiting on you."
The real problem is windows. They load it up with bloat so that you
need a faster processor and more memory, then drop support for older
versions that didn't do so much crud. The end result is that you're
forced into upgrading to a slower operating system (that is, it's
doing more) at the same time you're upgrading to faster hardware.
