Windows 8 sales below projections
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, November 17 2012 @ 04:55 PM EST
Yup, that's how they think, as I pointed out last week.

Oh, and I see that article has been updated,
"modest" refers not to sales, but shipping rates...

Windows 8 sales below projections
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, November 18 2012 @ 01:21 AM EST
>4 core, 1 - 1.5GHz ARMs with 2GB of RAM

Isn't that a description of the resources in the current run of the mill Android
tablet?

I'd consider 16GB RAM for a netbook.

For a laptop or desktop, I would not even look at a system with less than 32GB
RAM.

Were I wanting a system for something specialized, such as image editing, I
wouldn't look at anything under 64 GB, and might well set 128GB as the minimum,
with 256GB RAM as being much more realistic.

> Is that how Windows focused people think?

A lot depends upon what the projected use will be. I pretty much need a
dedicated box to handle my email. (I run Linux, but with Thunderbird using 8 GB
actual RAM, and an additional 16 GB virtual RAM, system response time is pretty
bad, at the best of times. (I realize that Thunderbird is not a viable email
client, for my needs, but thus far, it is better than the other programs that
claim to retrieve email, but fail to do so more often than not.))
