Is it me or have Microsoft been colluding with Intel for years now with not even a hint of suspicion.
I say this because I am tired of the computing lifecycle I have long become a victim of.
It works like this:
- My current PC/Laptop is now a few years obsolete, OK no biggie it still does what I want it to do (oxymoron in regards to using any Microsoft technology)
- New Windows released, I don't care, I proceed to make cynical joke about purchasers being beta-testers for another faux Mac operating System
- I soon require my PC/Laptop to do more than it currently does (which usually coincides with a new version of Football Manager being released or the need for better hardware)
- I upgrade RAM to max capacity and it tides me over for a short while, I'm content
- I eventually think f*** it, and fork out on something new (in reality I received a free laptop from my uni... haha up yours PC World)
- I get excited at the much better specs, and the new OS (Ironic?)
- I realize that the new OS, requires more processing power, hence canceling out the improved specs (DOES WINDOWS AERO REALLY MAKE USING A PC BETTER? DOES IT?)
- I seek comfort in the fact that at least my s****y Intel Graphics chip-set is better than what I had before and plan to add more RAM to my lappy
- By the time I get round to upgrading my RAM a whole new series of i-something processors are out
- So my current PC/Laptop is now a few years obsolete, OK no biggie it still does what I want...
