Why Does Windows Get Slower Over Time?

| The natural impulse is to blame Windows itself. The phenomenon is so

I'm assuming the submitter is also the author.
It comes down to scalability. Even with many fonts installed, the O/S should
not be slowed down. It seems like an implementational issue. Do we expect
our parents to just avoid certain sites or limit the number of applications
they install? Why do Mac OS and Linux not have this problem? I also opine
that the latter issue helps Microsoft discourage installation of third-party
(evil, non-Microsoft) applications. I have even been warned by at least 3
people that I should not install anything new on their Windows PC because it
leads to bloat. How's that for competition?
