it's probably going to get worse. Now that we have normalized using 2GB of ram for a text chat app because it's a bit easier to code, I bet it's only a matter of time before they go one abstraction level higher and start emulating an entire OS.
emacs does the entire OS thing in 8MB
Eight megs and constantly swapping
I mean,, the snapdragon laptops are still emulations.
It’s not like Windows Forms didn’t have password inputs
