[citation][nom]gnesterenko[/nom]A very half-hearted attempt to guide conversation back to topic:I just don't really understand the criticism of Win 7. MS has def made mistakes in past, but this isn't one of em.Hardware resources - my system is using only roughly 1.1GB of RAM outside of heavy database/spreadsheet usage or gaming. This is with ALL the eye candy turned on to the max and ALL the background processes running - defragger, anti-virus etc.. And only build 7000. Cut back on some options, and this is an OS that will run on >> Intel and will always be![/u][/i][/b]/hides[/citation]
Microsoft took the critisism from XP, and made Vista. Then took the critisism from Vista and made 7. The picture of the PC i linked before is actually running on startup at 480mb ram. Hell, most XP installations dont run that efficient.
