The Vandalisation of Windows

--- Quote from: dmcfarland ---Windows could be a good OS, but it isnt. Microshaft bloats it up with stupid needless bells and whistles. It also manages memory like shit. I wouldnt run Windows with less than 512 Megs. You might as well suck eggs with anything below that. Windows isnt going to get until there is some competition to Microshaft.

Hmm odd, because I ran Windows 2000 fine on 128mb and 256mb of memory. :rolleyes:

dmcfarland did not mention which Windows version he meant. Windows 95 runs decent on less than 512 MB RAM, but Windows XP is slow as hell on 256 MB RAM.
MarathoN:
Hmm, it seemed a like a general comment to me, so I decided to put my point of view in. :P
hm_murdock:
Actually, XP's memory management is identical to 2000.
Aloone_Jonez:
Exactly ,
Windows XP's memory managemant is the same as Windows 2000's. I run XP on 248MB and it works perfectly, I've used briefly at a computer auction on a machine with 128MB and it wasn't that bad. Anti-virus is the main problem, followed closely by Windows update, then luna and lastly the other unecasary services added in XP. The shit thing about Windows memory management is that minimised tasks are alwasys swapped to disk.
