The Vandalisation of Windows

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.

Try running close to the same amount of shit that I had running and see how responsive wonderful-Windows is. Try starting up more programs then, and more programs and more programs, and see how things go.
And if minimizing in Windows is shit, then that's another reason Windows is shit.

Sounds funny when you put it that way. When Windows 95 came out desktops didn't even support that much RAM. Hell, 95 itself didn't support that much. :D
For the record, 95 runs decent on 32MB, better with 64MB.

LOL I installed Windows 95 on a Laptop with 4MB of RAM once andit was very very slow.

That's my point, all that extra "shit" slows it down horribly... :rolleyes:
Hence why I run Windows 2000, I shouldn't have to spend time tweaking the system just so it runs fast, Windows 2000 has always ran very fast for me. :)

I agree and it's got fuck all to do with memory management.
