Is Apple dead if/when Steve Jobs dies?

People are still retarded enough to drop an extra $500 bucks on a PC just because it's a Mac...which is very sad lol. Windows outmatches Mac for the price/performance, specially windows 7.

Huh, the Windows 7 install i Just did on my desktop uses twice the RAM as my OS X install from 2 years ago.

Thats like *amazing* performance from Windows 7......

That shows you have no idea about W7.

Well Win7 WILL use about as much ram as you give it but that's all in the name of improving performance by loading frequently used apps, and pieces of apps, into main memmory. Works very well actually! But it also works fine down to 2GB and even 1GB (see netbooks) isn't horrible which is saying something.

What are you talking about?

I literally *just* installed it.

I shouldn't have to know anything about it to make it work.

That is the point.

He is pointing out the fact that pointing at ram utilization as a metric for how good an OS is these days is not smart.

W7, Most linux builds, (to a very limited extent) XP preload frequently used applications into memory (I've heard they do documents to but can't really confirm that). The wonderful thing about preloaded memory is, it isn't permanent. You have an app that needs more memory then is available? *poof* the memory is freed for that application by releasing some preloaded memory. Freeing memory is extremely fast.

Why are you looking at ram utilization then? You don't exactly need that to "make it work".

W7 is one of the best OSes I've had for "It just works".

Read what Locut0s said. There's a reason why it uses all your RAM.
