Unfortunately, regardless of what we may think enough computer is, we will always have to get better computers in order to keep up with the software. This is demonstrated by the transition to Vista from XP, and stems from Wirth's law:

"Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster."

Which, of course, is enough to greatly damage the significance of Moore's law *sight*
