For all the potshots about AI, this update is huge even if you take away the AI features. They basically added lightroom to this release. There's some polish before you'd want to change your subscription, but its really tempting.

Imo vistas biggest problem was they underspecced the minimum system requirements. Most peoples experience with vista was on sub 1gb of ram machines with a single core, no gpu and 32 bits. Vista was an os for modern architectures first. Wind

Games will typically un at 4k or less which is about 8mp on the other hand it’s difficult to buy a stills camera with less than 20 mp, and >40mp is common. Most algorithms are n^2 in graphics as well so we wouldn’t expect a linear speed

A lot of enhancements came on the model side which in many ways enabled context engineering. 200k and now 1M contexts. Better context management was enabled by improvements in structured outputs/tool calling at the model level. Also re

Don't forget shortening copyrights would have a major impact on this issue as well! 25 year copyright would make most of these libraries public domain. Then the price would truly reflect what we would all like to be subsidizing: the ne
