It seems to me that hardware upgrades have been relatively useless for 4 or 5 years now to the average information worker. What we need is software that makes us more efficient, or new paradigms of hardware. AI isn't necessarily the way to go (in the short run). What about applications that are more context sensitive and can rely on fewer mouse clicks. The video game industry has been doing this for years, based on the limited number of buttons you can fit on a controller. I believe Microsoft is doing this in Office 2007 with their new 'ribbon' toolbar, but I haven't seen it for myself. And yes, I'm sure there's someone who has beaten MS to the punch, but that example comes to mind first.
