Look at this:

Vista => http://www.stardock.com/brad/vista/Bootup.PNG (look at
dwm.exe)
Mine => http://static.flickr.com/44/149418144_2afb294c08_o.png

VM Size: 200m/124m
RES: 159m/74m

Using the same excuse the Linvocates use, the debug code is still in Vista
so all bets on speed, memory usage and so forth are off until the final
product is release, whatever decade that is :).....

Heh, I just realized you didn't look at the pics at all - the one with
200m RAM is my X server not vista ;)


You're a blind flatfish!

Like I said, who cares?
It's not released yet.
All bets are off.

Yep, here comes the discredit routine.
No, I am not insane.
However, I am smart enough not to try and compare something that is not
even released yet, with something that is.....
You can flap your lips all you like about Vista, but until it is released
anything you flap about is pure speculation on your part.

Apparently, flatfish is claiming that any comparisons
(memory, performance, beauty, number of BSODs/month, etc.)
between Linux and Vista are invalid until the final version
of Vista, stripped of all debug code and optimized for
speed, memory usage, and profits, comes out. :-)

At least, that's how I read flatfish's logic. Whether
that's accurate logic or not, I for one cannot say at all,
although it looks reasonable prima facie.

In any event, the actual X server can run in as low as 16
megs (system RAM, not video card RAM). It won't run all
that *well*, of course ... but it will run.

(One easy test, if one has more than one box: run nothing but an
X server and maybe a very lightweight window manager such as twm
on the one box, and have the clients running on another box.)

So, do you think that when they take out the debug code, the memory usage
will go up? (Hint: maybe you should actually understand what someone is
saying before you call them a moron).

It's /always/ permissible to call a luser/lintard an 'idiot'.

Haha! Thanks for the chuckle. By the way, in KDE (I know that you prefer
GNONE), there is a nice graphical front end to top and its siblings.
CTRL+ESC to bring it up.

Here'e my usage in real time (10 minutes between refreshes):

You're an idiot too, my x server is the one that use 200m, not vista's
dwm.

Screw yourself!

Yes, there seems to be serious leak from nvidia's x driver. It begines
with 29MB but increase up to 150m+ RES and then crashes, so now I have
to restart xorg at least every week, not to mention frequent crash of
the xfwm svn snapshot, too bad none of the win-idiots understand what
I'm talking about :)

You're not running a translucent desktop, clueless dickhead!

True to form here comes the name calling.

You COLA nuts act just like rats when cornered.

FWIW, you are correct I am not running a translucent desktop and the
reason why is because it is totally counterproductive to getting any work
done.
The concept might be interesting from an eye candy POV but working on such
a desktop is ridiculous.

You're in no position to complain about name-calling, flatty.

That's way over what I'm getting, even under load (though I'm not
currently doing anything that intensive, so the screenshot is
only representing my normal desktop usage).
