It's long been known that Windows has indeed made computing more accessible to anyone but how has this monopoly hindered the hardware manufacturers as the speed of windows still struggles to keep up with OS's from the early 90's

 

Here is a link to a Seagate view

I don't think Windows has hindered hardware progress at all.  OS X uses the same hardware after all and that's the next biggest competitor.  Hardware has progressed amazingly in speed and performance over the last few short years, too, so I don't think I follow this argument at all...  My windows machine of today runs way faster than any of my windows or linux machines I have ever had in the past so again, I don't agree with the argument that Windows is holding back hardware progress at all.
