- I like the 64-bit version for a better GUI and good app compatibility

But they really need to go back to the drawing board. Vista (32- or 64-bit) should in no way require 4x more RAM and 10x more disk space just for its own processes. (XP uses 1.5GB disk space and 300MB of RAM; Vista uses 15GB disk space and 1.2GB RAM)
Even the transition from Windows 2000 to XP wasn't as steep (800MB disk space, 128MB RAM)
New low end laptops ($500, with 1GB RAM) barely run with Vista; people are encouraged to get a RAM upgrade for a brand new machine. I think that is unprecedented...
Vista DOES have a lot of nifty and useful enhancements, but that bloated footprint is a just due criticism. - Posted by: HypnoToad Posted on: 05/30/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
