Yup.
Every time hardware advances, M$ do their best to null out the improvement. So far, they've managed this every time - Just look at PC specks and the minimum suggested requirements for the latest version of their OS.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Besides, what are they actually "*improving*" each time?
The only things i've noticed, up to XP, are:
Decent USB support
Good in-built library of drivers for P&P
Better networking config
Thumnail images (Though the thumbs.db files spread everywhere...)
Looooottttttssssss more images and fancy fading effects that serve no purpose execpt to use up CPU power and to intentionially (In the case of fades) to slow down the OS.
And plenty of irritating wizards for even the most simple of tasks, downloading photos from a camera, for instance.
Having said that, I dont actually do any programming, im just a normal computer user who can build a PC from scratch once in a while. And i'd better stop ranting, I suppose.
