Windows bit-rot - fact or fiction? | |

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: Is code rot real? Some people I’ve spoken to just simply don’t believe that code rot is real and that the idea that a PC gets slower over time is nothing more than an illusion, perhaps as a result of getting used to the speed of the PC or just using it as an excuse to buy a new PC. My take on things is that code rot is indeed real and that a system that was once working fine can be rendered almost unusable in a matter of months or a year. In fact, I’m certain that this factor actually encourages people to trash their old systems and go out and buy new ones. | ||
