As Patchou also said, ram is meant to be used....
I wouldn't have bought an extra GB just to let it rot away
(Vista would run fine with 1GB nevertheless though), and when I would have 4GB I would almost demand that Vista used 2GB or more if it was available and not in use....

All preferences, not flaws! And hardly
"not worth buying or using it" or
"it sucks and is crap"... /me not likes it, /me changes it (like the default start menu which I don't like either; even not in XP)....

Where are those posts talking about compatibility and people bashing MS and hating Vista because it still supports old stuff, isn't "innovative" enough and all that because it still needs to be compatible, and how MS should break their road map and start building things without taking in account old stuff... (sic: see first page or so in this thread).
Speaking of irony and contradiction....
Anyways, what I actually wanted to say: a flaw/bug <> taste/opinion....
but I must always rant

granted... but you could change that too by letting Vista only use a certain amount of RAM.... (is possible in XP too btw).

I think he meant compared to XP on that very same machine of his.

Do I like Vista: sure... Does it still has some twirks or things I don't like: sure...
