Lets go to the car, there are still big cars, but now they have electronic fueld injection. Sports cars have turbo chargers. The frames are built often using aluminimum. Cars come with LED based radio and often with CD players. With the average car there is no oil pressure guage, but a little light that blinks like mad when things go wrong.
Cars are faster, safer, can do more and more efficient.
So now lets go back to Office 97. Not a chance. In the end people just do not want those products. People want the features. You buy the most features for the buck.
