it does this at first then it drops down because of superfetch. Also when xp first came out it was also considered a resource hog. And also technology is rapidly evolving, such as 2 gigs is needed to run vista smoothly, the next operating system will require at least 4. You shouldn't slag on it because it requires more memory, All operating systems will require more than the past. And also all new computers will be able to run it fine. |
Actually, if the latest version of Windows Server (2008) and its Server Core is indicative of what Windows 7 might look like then this could quite likely be false. Microsoft seems to be trending toward providing a leaner, more stripped down version of its OS and letting the user pick and choose what to install. This could mean many good things in the future including possibly lower resource footprints. In general though (and for today), more in terms of memory and the like is usually better.
