It is good for industry in the long term. With all the rumors, obviously I can't wait for Microsoft to release a Surface of their own with fanless design and custom chips.
Of course it's the same productivity, were most of them paid for the extra hours of work - no. Were most of them almost required to stay overtime because the economy is doing bad, etc - yes. The corporatism would want to think of people as gears in a machine, yet they're more like the sensors and chips that turn the machines.
