  Nah, they’ll just push for streaming compute power and charge you once more!

    I’m just waiting for their reaction when everyone is supposed to use cloud desktops and the average application assumes the user has 128 GB of RAM.

  You mean when care was taken while coding and an OS could "run on 1GB but suffice with 2GB? I know everyone hated Win 8 but it was a welcomed change plus no bullshit on it at the time.

    I wouldn’t call Win 8 welcome, most people rather hated it. Then again, following Windows 7, which I the best of the bunch, couldn’t have been easy. MS just bet that the future of Windows was tablets and the world replied “lol no”.

    Real men remember when windows vista launched like shit because it assumed there were way more brand new high memory machines out there than there actually was

      It was also a mess as there was a lot of confusion around “64-bit” and “32-bit” systems that even most retailers weren’t sure how to describe. Dude it was entertaining talking to best buy his who weren’t even sure how to explain it all and the compatibility issues.

      I didn’t like Vista myself, but 8 seemed to be modernized enough and get away from Aero icons and glassy things.

    Yeah, 8.1 took like 800 megs ootb, while 10 wanted about 3 gigs to itself (not sure about earlier versions, tho; mb enshitification happened gradually)

    Since the mid 2000s desktop OSs haven‘t done anything fundamentally new until AI integration. Hardware accelerated compositing was the last big step. That was done with a couple of MBs on the graphics chip and less than 1 GB of RAM.
