Quote of the moment
I will speculate that today's single-threaded applications as actually used in the field could actually see a performance boost for most users by going to a dual-core chip, not because the extra core is actually doing anything useful, but because it is running the adware and spyware that infest many users' systems and are otherwise slowing down the single CPU that user has today.
