Re: [ros-dev] 1294 [dreimer] Fix clean for cmake trees. ...

[victor martinez]

This thread has been totally going OffTopic :)
But as I love this kind of discussion, I will give my opinion.
1)Apps, not just MS ones, aren't optimized anymore. I still remember the discussions,
when coding, with pointer=pointer+1; and pointer++; or how functions were optimized to be
able to run in a limited hardware. And sure, an old Internet Browser was
"eating" about 10 MB while one nowadays needs about 200MB. 20 times more. Stats
taken from latest IE with just one tab opened, same applies to FF and Chrome.
2)Windows 7 is able to run with less than 1GB. I was able to run it in 512MB, not as its
antecessor Vista.But Vista was just an agreement with Hardware companies to force the
movement to 3GB Ram and x64 in laptops, preparing the scene for 7 and 8.
3)MS needs a new push. 7 doesnt introduce any new *killer* features for Governments or
*Commun* Enterprises. That is the main reason that nowadays XP is still present in 80% of
their computers which are being used mainly for Writting/EXCELing purposes. The other 20%
is coming from the new *enforced* Pcs/Laptops which directly comes with 7 installed. I
just know 1 company which decided *freely* to move to 7, but it was a Videogames company.
When you *force* a company to move from one product to another one(i.e: stopping Support )
it creates the current *not*lovely*image* MS has. The day MS is able to convince people to
buy freely their new OS version, that day its *$* image will begin to change..
 
PS: Peace and Love.
