This has indeed changed with vista, although it's the bloatiest doze
version ever.
Check out any demo machines around, they tend to have 3GB RAM installed.
I still won't be buying it, unless I get "double-double" RAM for free
with the box.
And you know that will come to good use for xen ;-0
Speaking of xen, I am mightily impressed with the speed of it. I have a
SLES10 box running xen running XP,
And the speed of its response to clicks etc is almost like a local
machine. That's really cool.
