Making Computers Do More with Less

Many computer programs do have shortcuts, but they are too clumsy and limited to be of use. The programs should follow the operating system´s philosophy: be small and run fast. Interfaces based on menus and buttons might be fine for the casual user, but for the professional, they are too slow. The operating system should prevent programs from loading anything from the Web into the computer unless the user explicitly tries to download such software. A simpler operating system architecture, proper algorithm design, and a more careful implementation is one that gives priority to processing speed and memory occupancy.
