More streamlnes? Name ONE program that has been streamlined with future version. On ANY system.Does OS X require FEWER resoruces than OS 9? Does Office 2003 require less resources than Office 95?So, to answer your question, NO programs don't get more streamlines with each new version. Just the opposite.Why? Because they do more.And because programmers are lazy and will use all memroy just because they CAN. ALL programmers do this. Those that work for MS, Apple, Adobe, whatever.

@carapiOS9 -v- OSX no, but then with features being added all along most people would tell you their box runs 10.4 better than any previous versions and there's certainly an expectation that 10.5 will, for the most part, continue this trend.

The fact that RAM is cheap isn't the point.If you have more RAM available, it encourages MS and other developers to be shoddy in their development of efficient apps.

In other news, Apple recommend the biggest iPod disk possible, and AMD recommends Opterons.What do you expect? 2GB = More money for Dell. This is not news.
