I am curious how you look at operating systems and the chess software we use,
in relation to limitations due to hardware speed increases.

do you think the operating systems as we know them can handle the speed
increases we will see over the next few years. I would think that there is some
sort of limitation that the current operating systems could handle when pushed
running a chess program at greater speeds.

also the same for chess programs. can the chess code, the way it is written
today, function without errors at greater speed increases. what do you see is
the limitation of our chess programs when it comes to hardware speed increases?

for example, do you think most programs of today could run on a compatible
operating system if tommorrow we had a hardware increase of 1000x.
in other words do you think there is a speed limitation in our chess software or
our operating systems? if you do, how close are we to this today?
