We're at the end of the 32-bit line. Windows Vista uses a lot more memory than previous versions of Windows right now. And that's before third parties get their hands on it and put on their stuff. Cool new features have a significant memory overhead in order to make use of. And that 4 gigabyte limit could really become an issue. non-power users are going to start bumping up against the handle limit. The 64-bit version of Vista doesn't seem to have a problem with lots of handles. Windows Vista is a truly new version of Windows and some legacy software may need to be updated. Each thing that wants a piece of my memory should have to have a name so that we know what it is. Microsoft is working on Annoying! issues and they are aware of them, such as the recycling bin debacle, want to empty your recycle bin? You need to go through multiple dialogs to do that including a security prompt. Constantly be prompted to enter a password or to boost your privileges. Microsoft will not rush Windows Vista out for some arbitrary marketing date. If necessary, Microsoft will move the Windows Vista date back even if that makes PC manufacturers Scream!
