Speaking of Memory and swapping to disk:

Most Windows 7 systems consume nearly all RAM; less than half of XP PCs do

computerworld.com

"This is alarming," Barth said of Windows 7 machines' resource consumption. "For the OS to be pushing the hardware limits this quickly is amazing. Windows 7 is not the lean, mean version of Vista that you may think it is."

I guess that shows how advanced Win 7 is!!!

...users are more familiar with the opposite: that hardware stays ahead of operating system requirements. " ...."Now, everything that Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away," Barth said."

Poor Apple users - their OS is so backward, it gets faster with each new version. Probably Apple keeps taking stuff out so you get less and less for your money.

Well hey, I not too long ago bought some software for $10,000+.

They sent me two floppies. At first I felt gypped - what did I get for my money?
(ans: functionality)

Actually the floppies turned out to be be keys to activate software that I didn't know I had. But the actual software itself were small modules - no GUI or object oriented stuff so they are far smaller than Word (oops there goes my keyboard again)
