You cannot really say that. IT depends on what applications you want to
run and how many you want open at any one time. Besides we all know that
Windows is a very inefficient OS and does a poor job of multitasking
applications.
Try doing multiple tasks with it. You can install XP with 128 MB,
but try using it if you install the updates.
I used to run a Commodore 64 with 38911 bytes of RAM.
The embedded 68340 processor controlling the equipment used for
audio, video, & data uplink to the ISS has 64K * 16 EPROM, and 2k * 16
SRAM and a 16 MHz CPU clock

crap..
xp works better with 512 mb ram than vista works with 1gb ram!
lol
also if you know what you are doing you can greatly reduce the footprint of
xp to use far less resources...
not to mention that you can make lite versions of xp using nlite..
vista even with vlite is just too fat
that's why microsoft has embedded for xp but NOT for vista , and they will
never have an embeded version of vista..
they skipped the monster and next embedded version will be based on windows
7
you suck!
Yes, you are full of it. I'll bet you even have brown eyes.
You think that's funny? Its pathetic.
Do you expect the average user to do that? Even when you strip away
the crap for them, they quickly install enough third party crap to bring
it back to its knees. I spent most of the Christmas holiday cleaning up
the computers for a local business. They were clean a few months ago,
and some have a hundred browser plug ins and other memory wasters.
They take a larger hard drive as a challenge to fill it up.
WHICH Vista? There are too many fragmented versions.
Sure there will. Just add concrete. I used embedded NT in the
Microdyne RCB2000 series Telemetry systems. It, and all software ran
from an M-Disk 40 MB solid state hard drive and 32 MB of DIMM DRAM. It
booted and ran in about 15 seconds. XP would take several minutes, and
Vista would take 15.
Sigh. Most embedded systems have abandoned Windows altogether. 95%
of the bells and whistles in Windows get in the way of doing any actual
work.
You are projecting your own limitations on others. I suppose you're
another of those "My IQ is 154!" types that show up on SED. You are the
typical computer user idiot who thinks they know every situation.

I don't like the sound of this... it sounds to me as racist... No I have
green eyes.
If you are referring to shit content.. your blood has been replaced with
shit!
So it's a good way to make some extra money, you pathetic computer sweeper
you!
You always like to see the bad side of things!
All vista is crap... there is not much difference
Have you heard of minwin you dope? No? Its actually windows7!
They cant let that part of the market slip away... Microsoft knows this...
And the answer is windows7!
Who said I love windows?
Actually now that you brought it up, I have more than that.
I didn't say I know everything, but I did say you are a moron!
Just as I suspected, another moron with a shit fetish. You really
need to meet 'dimbulb'. You two could be twins.
Actually, I am a 100% disabled US Army Veteran who repair computers
for free to keep busy a few hours a week, so there goes more of your
half-vast ignorance out on the floor for everyone to walk around. In
fact, sometimes it costs me money to help others. Some people aren't
greed driven, as you appear to be.
No, I like to see things work the way they were designed. I was a
broadcast engineer in both radio & Television. I wanted zero downtime,
and did my best to see that it happened. All spare equipment was ready
to use, and preventive maintenance went off like clockwork. I did some
RADAR work in the military. I also worked with microwave communications
and weather instrumentation.
At my last job before becoming disabled, I worked on the designs of
Telemetry & communications systems for NASA, NOAA, the ESA, and the
ISS. I worked in all segments including the embedded controllers, the
RF, DSP based IF and video filters, and approved a lot of the components
for the projects. I wrote test procedures, and a lot of ECOs before the
design was ready for production.
Do you have any idea how it felt to hear, "We have lost Telemetry"
when we lost the last shuttle? It was like being kicked in the
stomach. The shuttle was being tracked from multiple ground locations
with redundant equipment that I had worked on. I knew that it was
impossible for it to be a complete and simultaneous failure at multiple
ground locations. At that instant I knew what was happening, but wishing
such an equipment failure was possible.
Where did I say it wasn't? Pay attention. You must be one of those
attention deficit MTV watching losers.
Vaporware is never the answer. Until it ships and is shown to work,
its just more marketing BS, like their 'Mojave' BS. In fact, it may
never ship. It wouldn't be the first time microsoft changed direction
and renumbered or renamed a product.
Once again, you aren't paying attention. It wasn't me.
Sure you do Why, I'll bet its 666! So high that they had to write a
new IQ test, just for you. I suppose you not only belong to Mensa, but
are the president egghead as well. What have you ever done with your
huge IQ other than trash talk?
Which shows that you don't know what you are talking about. Also,
you never answered my questions about the other computer busses, and how
much memory they can use.

You wont get my sympathy because you are disabled or a veteran. I will treat
you like any other idiot.
In
The problem is that you are trying to help only a few at a time... try to
help 1000 at a time then come back and we will talk..
Greed? Oh yes I am greedy for knowledge but money is only a vehicle to do
good... and that's how I use it.
In order to do much good, you need many things, and money is the best way to
get to them.
That is the proper view of seeing wealth, only those who have can give and
keep giving.
From your statement you seem to have a problem with money...
I used to be like that.. but I changed.. here is something wise for you:
"It is a sin to be poor...
It is the duty of every person to be rich." - George Bernard Shaw
Challenger accident was probably caused by lack of funding to do the proper
adaptations and checks needed.
The shuttle technology should have been replaced by then anyway.. The whole
thing sticks from the head..
I don't have an idea.. but this is not the worse thing that has happened to
people you know.... its just that cameras were pointed there...
and this magnifies the tragedy... there are millions of children dying from
simple diseases and malnourishment that no one seems to care about.
No camera there to record their deaths though... I think those kids would
prefer to go up in a big bang than die slowly.
we basically agree on everything, the only problem is that I wont be kind to
you, and you don't like that.. so we are fighting just for the hell of it.
Don't misinterpret my insults as lack of sympathy.
It might be, but if it is Microsoft will have just created its own tombstone
and dug its grave. Windows7 has to work.. or else microsoft the giant will
fall with a big thump.
Sorry can you post the questions again, they were lost among all that crap
you were posting. I would be more than happy to explain everything to you.
:-)
You are the idiot. You continue to show proof of that. I spend all
my available time doing charitable work. Most of the time when I am
online, I have a computer or two on the bench behind me doing a test, or
installing software. Why don't you spend years confined to bed, then
slowly recover from over a dozen medical problems, then get back to me?
That is, if you survive. With your sorry attitude, I give you about a
5% chance.
Greedy? Then you're one of the SOBs responsible for the current
economic meltdown. As far as knowledge, I continue to study
electronics, even though the VA has told me I will never be able to work
again.
I always used hard work with whatever cash was at hand. I didn't need
greed. I started a successful business with $20 in 1970, and over half
that was spent on the business license. I never advertised the
business, yet it grew to more work than I could handle. I couldn't find
competent help. Only greedy morons who wanted to take shortcuts on the
materials & workmanship.
I have TIME. Sometimes that is worth more than money.
Actually, no I don't. I pay all my bills on time, I have never owned
a credit card, and my house will soon be paid off. My truck is paid off
and I have a nice place to live with a fairly good collection of tools
and over 1000 books in my library.
A lame, meaningless quote from a second rate hack is the best you can
do?
'Rich' isn't always about material things. Apparently you are so
wrapped up in the need for money that it has blinded you to life's
pleasures.
Like I said, you have absolutely no idea. The Challenger was the
FIRST shuttle lost.
What cameras? Columbia disintegrated during reentry and was
scattered across several states.
World's smallest violin. See it? People have been trying to help for
generations, but they have come to expect handouts. Billions have bee
given in aid, wells drilled, farming tools and seeds for crops, and what
do they do? They won't do the simple maintenance they were taught for
the pumps or farm equipment. They eat the seed, instead of planting it,
because someone else will do the hard work for them or bring more food.
They continue to have more kids than they can support, because they were
too lazy to take the birth control pills. Some African women even made
necklaces out of them. They insist in living in some of the least
suitable places on earth, while they starve their kids and themselves to
death. Ample proof that you can't fix stupid.
Now you are a mind reader?
You are nothing more than a gnat on the ass of the universe. I don't
care what you think of me. Its obvious you don't think much of
yourself, or anyone else.
50 years from now: Anyone remember Microsoft? Crickets. More
crickets. Still more crickets...............................
Does anyone care? Crickets. More crickets. Still more
crickets...............................
I'll give you a really easy one. How much memory can you use in a
system bassed on the Exorcisor buss?
Sure you will. With more stupid quotes from Shaw?

Hey Micheal
calm down...
I was not talking seriously... but I didn't really want to aggravate you...
I thought you would catch on that I was just teasing you.
forgive me if I have made you mad of feel bad in any way...
You are a good man, and don't let anyone put you down...not even me.
I am not an insensitive idiot, although I can understand why you might
believe that... since you had only these post to go along with.
Keep doing what you are doing... and I will be honest, that I wish there
were more people like you around
have a nice new year...
And I remember mainframe computers that were considered huge because
they had 2 gb of mass storage. Times have changed and now it takes 2
gb just to start the damn thing.

If you are doing graphics on your PC, you should stop right now. PCs
