It will just make software writers even more lazy about memory.
I finally bought a new computer a few months ago. With the bloated software we have lately, it doesn't seem any faster then the old machine. That is in spite of going from 1 gb of ram to 8, and the clock speed doubled to 3 ghz. Its hard to imagine how they once managed to program for computers with 8k of ram a mere 30 years ago.
