Lame computer rant!!!!

All i have time to write is that I find it funny and thought-provoking that the "x" button in the top right corner of all windows programs has evolved from fufilling a simple "close" function to fufilling a "minimize into the notification area" function. Am I the only one who has noticed that having a close button that minimizes is redundant? Is this what the people want? Is it a clever trick by software companies intended to slow computers down, and keep their spyware infested programs running incognito. Is this all just a conspiracy by the hardware giants to make sure that we will need to keep upgrading our computers? It seems to me that computers are hitting their peak. Unless you are an avid gamer or someone into video rendering or other CPU intensive activities, there is not need for 1 GB ram and 6000 GB hard drives and CPU's capable of performing teraflops and other assorted nano-acrobatics. Anyways, i'll finish with some advice for everyone who is alive especially those who slice "measure twice cut once".
