    I still have a couple Pentium I with MMX running and without a hitch. How much longer are you talking about?
    That's not a fair comparison... you can hardly even fry an egg on those old processors.
    Today's processors let you fry that egg with ease, while simultaneously calculating whether the egg preceeded the chicken, render the resulting proto-fowl in stunning 3D, with time left over to disprove your own existance.

    Chalk it up as yet another product whose fourth version was bloated and disappointing.

    Think DOS 4, Netscape 4, IE 4... any others?

    Interesting how Windows skipped version 4...
