[mdlug] What Intel Giveth, Microsoft Taketh Away

[David Lane]

Kind-of,

I was at a National users group meeting and a presenter said that CPU  resources are cheap.  But I went to the hard classes in college Computer Science ( Not MIS ).  It costs a bit more up front to produce good efficient code. That code performs and does not require a super-fast liquid CPU to run things, 

But that might be good.  I means to me building a good Linux home office infrastructure  will be very cost effective.

In the case of development, developers are subject to "Business and Finance Managers" and they want  a path that yields the most money and costs the least. There is always some resource that pops up to make software development less costly to develop and the cost of that in the end is overhead and overall application performance.   

In the case of the schools that I consult for is a saleability and responsiveness.

I think there's more to it than that. Maybe I've been wearing a
tinfoil hat too long, but it seems to me that there's some sort of
agreement between computer makers (who distribute Windows on every
machine... until recently) and Microsoft, who constantly drives the
need for more powerful computers.
