downloaded the alpha version today and installed it.
IMO it was TERRIBLE!
First is was slow as hell, took up 700-800mb of memory and a lot of cpu. :S :S :S (that has to be a bug, it can't take up that much all the time:S)
The grapichal user interface was also terrible, it was tooooo much eye candy, couldn't stand it.
To much DRM things too, you get the feeling you have no control all the time...
yes i know it's still alpha and won't be realeased until 2005-2006, but still only the user interface (which i don't think they will change very much) is reason enought to stick with win2k / Linux...

No it didn't , that is pagefile useage (on your harddrive).
You don't even have 700 megs of ram. You have 256. :rolleyes:

yep i know, but still, they won't change all those annoying eye candy things, they won't have less drm either, i could only imagine it becoming worse infact... |

let's see, unix = little eye candy, longhorn = load of eye candy, which is more stable? |
