Fallacies that advocate software bloat (Miscellaneous)

> New computers are more efficient than old ones;

I think they are (the HW), if we measure computing power of modern CPUs MIPS per watt they are definitelly better than old ones. And now you can choose from huge scale of computing power from very low consumption Quark, Vortex, ULV Atoms and i3 to huge multicore monsters. But the problem is that bloatware demands more computing powet for the same tasks than before so the HW progress is neutralised, sometimes... I can imagine one writing a letter in MS word office 95 at windows 95 running on some Pentium 100 32MB RAM, 30 years later one doing the same in Office 365 on some 64-bit corpo laptop i5 4GHz 16GB RAM, did the productivity of writting changed reflecting the computing scale? Maybe now with AI, now it writes letter for you based od simple request :)
