The future of PCs

LOL I see your point. But since my original post pertains to both hardware
and software, a software group could just as easily say "then why don't you
ask your hardware questions in a hardware group instead of a software
group?" ;-)

You left your hardware question behind a long time ago.

Hardly. My original post contains the only questions I ever had, and all of
them involve hardware in some way.
 
Of course, but I was never concerned about which apps, specifically, are
multicore. If anything I'm just wondering about future trends in software
given all the latest advancements in CPUs (one of which being multicore). As
an example, will multicore support become more commonplace now that silicon
is reaching its clock-speed limit? Just looking for opinions.

See. You might get more info if you tried comp.*.apps.* or other
software groups that pertain to more to your queries.

Only in so much that you need hardware to run the software. The
software will always catch up to the hardware. People will insist that
it does.

I agree that software will catch up in some form but no one can predict
which technologies will be embraced. From a historical standpoint I assume
that some CPU innovations never got adopted by most software developers,
correct? In regards to my first post do you think all of the mentioned
advancements will become the future standard? Just asking for your opinion
not a definitive answer.

Perhaps, but no one is going to know for a fact what lies ahead anyway. As I
said, I'm just soliciting opinions and everyone has one, as far as I know,
including those in a hardware-related group. (I assume everyone in here runs
software).
