That is true ........................but at IDLE!!!!! WTF can it be doing at IDLE to use that much memory?

They seriously need to step back and rethink their compression for this system....Its just a user interface...not a separate OS.

exactly, a USER interface, its ment to look pretty and apealing, hence the intense GUI (graphical user interface)

You can download simple XP Themes for Windows that run about 500 Kb of memory....Why cant they just construct the GUI to be a simple mask..

buts its not that simple, when it somes to the G in GUI...but you can dissable a lot of crap that runs in the background to lower that idle memory usage

I made the best mod to windows last year - I got rid of it and went OS X.

There are just so many damn redundancies with Windows...Its crazy to think about all the wasted space in the OS's they put out now...Look at NT or 98...I had 64 MB memory and it ran just fine with 98 Second Edition.

I know its not that easy but it just makes me mad that to do a simple upgrade from XP to Vista would require a boost of at least 512 MB RAM for me just to idle it....run one program and my computer would say F U !!!...lol
