You're wrong, I didn't comapare Windows' memory management to Linux's in the post you've quoted or anywhere else for that matter.

I didn't say you did.
What you did say is:

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.

That's true but it isn't an issue if you don't minimise the tasks.
Yes it is a bug and yes it is shit but Windows' memory managment isn't that shit (alright it might not be as good as Linux's I haven't used Linux that much so I don't know). My point still holds true Windows isn't that bad or as bad as you want it to be or would like it to be, for me the wors thing about Windows is Microsoft rather than it's quality as a whole.

You've completely missed the point.
The memory management in Windows is, infact, shit. Linux has great memory management. According to a guy in ##freebsd on freenode, the Linux guys coppied alot from FreeBSD in the memory management area, and still have a bit more work to do. Some rarely used stuff in FreeBSD, like "kernel stack swapping" isn't available on Linux. So the FreeBSD memory management probably does compete well with, and probably beats, Linux's.
Windows memory management is shit. And it's not because of the minimizing fuckup.
Memory management is important, because it allows you to do more things faster. Linux allows you to do more things faster than Windows.
Aloone_Jonez:
LOL I suppose I don't know any better because I've never pushed Linux to its limits.
All I know is that Windows isn't as bad as the Linux community say it is or want it to be so I'll tale what you've said very loosely.
