Sure, but it's also more likely to make my laptop with 16 gigs of RAM, 8 simultaneous threads and SSD feel more sluggish than the one I had 10 years ago.

Edit: I'll add, I frequently see people say that Windows XP was the best OS ever made. Why the rose-tinted glasses? It was the tail end of the era when hardware was getting faster, faster than software was getting slower.
