Indeed, there is an incredible waste of resources on vista
I just got a new Dell machine with 4 GB RAM in order to run several virtual
machines on it
First, the VMWare 5.5 is not supported ?? So upgrade , isnt't it yo virtual
PC
Second, the RAM was already wasted. Now, when I'm writng, with only a
messenger opened and a browser (IE 7 of course) ans I have already 1.2 GB
RAM used ?
How come could this be possible?
And what about the real Vista ? Where are the real features ? several year
ago we were talking about new messanging, new graphical interface and new
file system.
On top we were talking about the advanced command line interface.
I found nothing form these on this Business Vista ?
Were all the good intentions went out. And how does the people couls accept
this as a new feature and buy it ?
