progress is good...tech evolves...normally when computer tech evolves in hardware, things look better and prettier right?
text based OSes, 8bit..16bit..32bit...etc games in graphics get better too right? You know those fancy hollywood computer GUIs in movies? They don't have to just be fantasy...those things will eventually come to us.
Just as 4 megs and a 250mb harddrive were huge when I built my first computer around age 16 or so....2gigs and 500gbs are average and affordable.
Sure you could be one of those peculiar types who complain about an OS being just eye candy, using up so and so resources and "hogging" X amount of ram....or you could think progressively. You're not still trying to reboot and reconfigure autoexec.bat or config.sys to squeeze out that extra 20k of conventional memory, or shifting around the placement of himem.sys within said files, or trying to find replacement lower footprint sound and cd drivers....
No? The future is good...progress is good.
It's like a house that has a home gym...sure you don't have to use it...but it might make you more aesthetically pleasing...oddly enough some people don't want to be aesthetically pleasing
