Desktop app are frequently optimized like ass yea.

Games are different imo.  We were seeing 25-35+ gig games last gen already.
High quality or lossless audio, HD Video(Cutscenes etc.) takes huge amounts of 
space and so does High res textures.

100gb does sound a little excessive tho...  but there are many 30+ gig stuff 
out now.
Bloodborne is apparently a 40gb download.

The problem that I have is that applications these days will find a way to 
squeeze every last bit power from your machine.  It's like they think RAM, Disk 
Space and CPU power are an unlimited resource.  You see the same in video games 
as well.  Star Citizen is a 100GB download.  WTF!?

A few years ago I was doing the same kind of work on my machine with 2GB of RAM 
and a slower CPU and HDD.  Now with 4 times the amount of computing power I'm 4 
times less productive.
I feel that computing power vs application requirements is a metaphor for the 
human condition.

If I werent a PC gamer I may have considered other options.

The "windows experience" has gotten significantly better since Win7 tho I 
reckon.

I feel that too.

The less I use Windows the better it works.

I often open Windows and kill a whole lot of processes before I work on it.

With Windows for some reason I feel like my performance lessens over time way 
more than I experience with mac os x. [Also, significantly less issues]

I havent really had any performance issues with windows since Vista tho...

In recent years the only times I have re installed was along with big hardware 
upgrades.

That's why I use Linux for everything other than gaming.

Lol

Thats usually the point in time I go fuckit and wipe it all with fresh copy of 
OS.

I find that usually faster than trying to troubleshoot...  if you have the 
option to wipe it ofcourse.

I'm sure there's an inverse relationship between computer power and application 
performance.
These days 8 - 12GB, multi-core CPU machines are pretty much the norm.  Yet 
about 50% of my day is spent waiting for my machine to enter a usable state.  
As soon as I try anything even remotely advanced (like run two things at the 
same time) my CPU, Disk and Memory usage shoots to 99%.  I'm literally doing 
nothing now except trying to take a screenshot of Task Manager, and Windows 
thinks it needs to max out one of my CPU cores to do that.
