I think the OS actually uses very little, but probably close to 2 GB is reserved for the display (GPU). But yes, the HyperVisor OS is capable of allocating resources based on need between the two VMs. The system is even designed to throttle up or down cores and memory as needed. So if you're just watching a movie, the system can throttle down to next to no processing power, but if you receive a Skype call during that movie, it could throttle up the resources needed. |
I believe this is their first "safe bet". Look at all the tech-demos so far, almost nothing uses more than 4gb of ram. MS will continue to improve this even more and ram-usage will be less in the next years.
