One of the challenges of working in IT is that things change around you very quickly. A lot of time is therefore spent downloading and evaluating software. Two of the downloads on my list this week brought into focus just how little regard Microsoft appears to have for how much system resources their software uses. Is it co-incidence that each generation of software (from Microsoft) requires bigger and better hardware to run it on? True, Moores Law applies and the CPU power available is doubling every eighteen months or so but does it really need to be this way?
