Each new OS is excpected to be using more RAM then previous generation.

If your really that worried about it USING ram, then use MS-DOS(1) again
[me making crap things sound good]
It used under 1mb . And the boot times were fantastic. Used very little processing power, so you could really focus on the application and not background processors. The interface is really simple and basic. Had great combability at its time, everything made for it ran on it!

MS-DOS does sound like a great OS. Maybe we should all convert?


And i seriously dont think that Vista has many combatability problems.....Except for AV's i dont know anything that didnt work for me. Most things if it didnt run well at first, i could just right click and make it "Windows XP" combatability. It fixed majourty of problems if anything arised...... Or havent you found that button yet?


In folder options there is an option to make "List" or "Thumbnails"
and etc the deafult.

And are you running Virtrull Machines on your Laptop? Or is it just another computer at home your using.

And secondly, 256MB of ram sucked on XP as well... 512 wasnt great. 1GB was comfortable for Applications + the  OS itself.

And yes, you can limit how much RAM it can use, and how much Virtrull Ram it can use (Stores data on HDD in System Information i think).


And back to the Music thing. Some Metal Bands do alot of covers. Most dont. Megadeath hasnt done a single one, Avengend sevenfold has done 3, Tool have done none, Three Days Grace have done 1. Most pop music these days are covers with a 'twist'. Im talking about the majourty of ones on the Radio.

And although yes, the CD media used by Music Artists is higher quailty, but they do it in mass bulk. It would only be abother 5c more per CD compared to Vertabrain ($16 for 50). And yes, they have to cover costs, sure. Thats a givin. But, theres a "covering costs" and theres a "over pricing". I was reading an article a while ago (it might be wrong, this was in a magizine btw), they said that for every $25 cd sold, the ARTIST makes $16.

Another reason why Digital Downloads (Buying) has become so much more popular .

And if you do a few service and start item tweaks (and doing tweaks to XP as well) you can make it boot far FAR faster. And both on deafult my Vista boots faster anyway (4GB 800 ram and 3.6ghz q6600 (quad)).

Ubuntu boots far slower then my Vista as well... So i wouldnt really complain about Vista's booting time. Its not bad at all.
