Vista vs. Linux - Which is REALLY better?

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same.

Vista works fine for me as long as you have enough ram. i mean even one 1gb is fine. but when it is idling on my pc with no programs running, ram is being used at about 25 or 30%.
so i dont know why all you fucking idiots say VISTA sucks! GO CHOKE ON YOUR FUCKING COCK!
