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.

missing out post 17,
im gonna skip to post 16.
ok so you love vista, did you have an
affair with it whilst still with your
old DOS computer or something?
well dude what im trying to say
is that XGL and beryl make linux better, the
post title is linux vs. windows, if you hadden't
noticed I mentioned the fact that using these
products on linux the system would still run
faster than windows. ah well at least you
know what HTML is I guess..
