That can't be simply normal system requirements to do the job of Vista, it
has to be bad programming, bad use of available ram and bad use of
cacheing, poor software integration i.e. multiple modules covering the
same ground because MS can't trust their programmers enough to let them
work together.
I bet your left sock that if the MS code was given over to a software team
they could reduce the required ram enormously.
