or you are that intent on defending Vista for what its worth.

I don't like defending ANY product. But I HATE bullsh**....and this thread reeks of it.

Oh really, then why is RAM requirements so excessive?
|
Because it's got a boatload of features on it. Most of which, as previously mentioned, you can turn off if you so choose. For example, I have the sidebar off, indexing off, and UAC off. Vista's RAM requirements are not excessive, usually requiring between 512-1gb (1gb being excesive but not necessary unless you have just about everything on). Leopard requires about as much.

Why is the server version much more efficient?
|
Because they're SERVER versions. They're meant for work, not play. Server versions of ANY OS runs a bare minimum of features. Desktop OS's are meant to give users more toys.

And why is Linux more efficient?
|
Because it's built better. I've never contested that. Doesn't mean windows doesn't have it's place in the world.

And yes, we will circle the block. The software's use of RAM is excessive. I challenge you personally to write a application that uses less than 16MB RAM. If you can't, you have zero point defending what its optimized software or not.
NO IT IS NOT!!!!
You are encouraging bloat? Consider me your worst nightmare. NO ONE defends bloat in front of ME.

Oh lord.
*Hands you the oscar* There ya go you drama queen.
