Windows Users
Info and news about Microsoft Windows with an end-user focus (geeks helping non-geeks).

Without question, Microsoft Windows rules the world of desktops, and has a large share of the server market, too.

With the size of applications and data, my belief is that you need a minimum of 2 GB of RAM not because it's required, but because Vista will use it. In Windows Vista, the caching scheme changed. Vista's SuperFetch built on and replaced Prefetch. Unlike Prefetch, SuperFetch will use up ALL memory you give it so you want as much memory on Vista as you can afford. My current Vista system has 3 GB of RAM with an additional 4 GB ReadyBoost compliant USB flash drive.
If you want to make your application data available to multiple users on a Windows Vista PC you can place the data in a subfolder of the Public folder. Vista does not virtualize this folder and it is available to all users on a PC. You can also set the permissions on the files or folders you want to share to allow all users full permissions.
Definition of the Week SuperFetch:
Memory caching scheme introduced with Windows Vista that tracks what kind of applications you use and loads them into RAM so they can be launched faster. SuperFecth can use ReadyBoost to add to the available cache using a ReadyBoost compliant USB 2.0 flash drive. SuperFetch and ReadyBoost speed up virtual memory transactions.
