Vista is not so memory hungry
- Thread starter liqnit

Well, the '800MB' figure is rediculous at any rate. The thing is, most postings about this memory hog have mentioned a very specific build. If anything, that build could have developed a memory leak, or else this would have been public knowledge for quite a while.
I find it strange that Vista has been in Beta 1 for months and months, and only now somebody comes out and says "Oh look, this is using 800MB of ram."

It's good to see that the new os is not so resource hungry, but it makes 256mb the standard ram. Which, in my opinion, isn't enough anyway. I had the Longhorn theme for xp and I did like the different buttons and transparency it added. Like others, I won't jump on it as soon as it comes out. It will take some time for drivers and software to be "vista ready". It does look good though. I hope some of the security problems associated with xp are cleared up.
Usually a good idea to wait about a year after Microsoft releases a new operating system. There are always the very obvious bugs that exist in the new operating system thru the first 6 months. I got a laugh when Windows XP was first released and it didn't even work with CD-writers, and games were stuck at 60 HZ refresh rate. Talking about obvious bugs that should of been caught before it was ever released.....
