Was this even a release version? The system shown only has 1GB of physical memory, how exactly do you get 1.24GB of RAM consumption? Was this even a release version?

Lets face it, the XP GUI API sucks ass, and everything done to modify it felt like a hack. Windows blinds is just another hack on top of a hack. In the end I just didn't like it...even though it claimed to accelerate the GUI rendering using hardware I never saw a huge gain with it. I don't think that blog link works anymore. I used to have my WP blog there but not anymore (switched servers). One of these days I'm going to have to get it up and running again.

I'm not even a mac user, I've used Windows ever since I've used a computer. PS: evilKat, you need to put the contents of the wordpress.zip file on that folder, not the zip file itself. And don't upload the "root" Wordpress folder, otherwise your blog will be installed to evilkat.org/blog/wordpress With Windows Blinds you can exactly the same eye candy with much less consumption.

Talk about your anti-windows-Mac-fan boyz, sheesh. Having said that, by early 2K7 u could well need 2GB to run the latest and greatest games at max res with all eye candy on. But certainly not for Farcry with it's current game engine. Not to mention the fact that this is a friggin beta OS with unoptimized code paths. Talk about your anti-windows-Mac-fan boyz, sheesh.

I'm sure, closer to release, much more optimisations will be in place. Furthermore, that's running at full graphics, you neglected to mention that vista's gui can be scaled down Keep in mind, MS have made no claims to vista being ‘done’.
