    KDE, too.

    Actually this is a general feature of most software. Just not Microsoft's software.

    Most software gets _faster_ in between versions. New features may run slower, but other aspects of the software should speed up, not slow down. Optimization takes time.

    People are just used to Microsoft, where (version ++1) = (hardware ++1)
