I read Windows 7 was supposed to be less resource hungry and run slightly quicker than vista. Well SP2 i would guess got some of the same tweaking cause a 180mb-250mb difference in memory usage is quite a bit imo. If vista had been released with the efficiency of SP2, it woulda sold wonderfully. I'm judging this off the "System Monitor" gadget for the sidebar, anyone else notice a drop in memory usage?
Dont worry, even if vista came out as good as windows 7 is now, everyone would have hated it still. they'd convinced themselves XP was the best.
