I used Win 95 and NT and computers today are blazingly faster, but obviously requires much more resources to achieve that.
Win 95 was not only slow, but also prone to hangings of all kinds and it was hard to keep it up for more than a few days without a crash or a needed reset.
Consuming a huge amount of unnecessary resources is a modern problem, but it doesn't make software quality any less, well depending on how you define quality.
The bug in the 1980's Therac-25 software killed people, bugs in the Patriot system causing it not to intercept Iraqi Scuds killed people in 1991 and the Mars Pathfinder required an interstellar software update in 1997 to fix a bug.
