rollcage Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 What an age we live in, when a single user's computing power can rival that of the Pentagon's.... I know that some things are slower in Vista, but the RAM usage is not a good indicator. It's not like older versions of Windows where the RAM usage shown in the task manager was just what is actually being used, it's also what's being saved in memory so that programs will start faster and other actions will start faster. Kind of like adding the active, inactive, and wired RAM in OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancelott Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Could you imagine M$ going back to the drawing board and making an OS based of UNIX? Oh wait.... Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Ingus Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 They should start from scratch and make a great new OS. That would make too much sense. Very UN-Microsoft like he read the license aggreement for the os and he said that Miscrosoft reserves the right to monitor keystrokes and to record the data I have heard about this many times before. It is one of the reasons why a lot of people do not trust microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonshadow Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I would say Microsoft should take its code and make some ultimate linux distro... but then they would have to release it for free under the GNU... Or do what Redhat did. In Windows 7, I would like to see a self de-fragging Filestructure like Mac Os'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Many people say that Tiger is not meant for Intel Macs and Intel Macs are not at their full potential with Leopard. Tiger is underpowered on Intel Macs. Tiger was just tested on Pentium 4 machines (developer ones) and Leopard was designed from the ground up on the Intel architecture and was tested on more current machines. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Apple been working on an X86 build of OS X since Apple started working on X? There was speculation regarding that since there was a readily-available build of Darwin for x86 since long before I can remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah but they still based it on the Windows Server 2003 code and NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Ingus Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 You were probably thinking about prebinding or adaptive hot file clustering in the metadata zone, but that is totally different than 'automatically defragging' Per Apple "The file system used on Macintosh computers is designed to work with a certain degree of fragmentation."
