Yes, thats right. A leaked beta version of Vista uses a ton of RAM. Were 10 months away from release, and youre all worried that you wont be able to run the latest games on your 512 MB computers. When Vista comes out, 1024 MB will be the minimum for the average FPS. Youll only need Vista for DX10 to run the latest games. If you cant play the latest games, you wont need Vista in the first place. This is a non-issue.
Did anybody stop to think that maybe MS is using this time to optimize Vista for release, and that perhaps it might run differently 10 months from now?
If you just want to hop on the Vista bashing bandwagon though, dont let me stop you.
