I don't quite get it, but, here is what I think of XP's stupidity,

XP "MWAHAHA! &#A0;FOOLS! &#A0;I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! &#A0;MORE MEMORY!!!!"

GENERAL PEPPER "Star Fox, we have an emergency! &#A0;XP is alive...and he's launched an attack against Corneria! &#A0;Enemy forces have sortied from XP's motherships and carriers are heading towards Corneria. &#A0;They've also built bases on several planets, and are firing IPBMs at Corneria. &#A0;Your help is crucial! &#A0;Corneria can take some hits, but with excessive damage, we will fall! &#A0;Protect Corneria, and wipe out XP's army! &#A0;We're counting on you, Star Fox!

Close, it's comparing Windows 95 and Windows XP's memory needs.

Yep, XP stinks.  Why?...who knows.  What's with the "bam" coming out of the bowl of...rice memory  XD  ?  

Oh, and guess what game the above dialogue is from. :devil:

(replace all XP's with Andross, and take out the top line entirely).

I don't really see what the complaint is against XP, except it can't run LemEdit properly. But it's silly comparing its memory requirements to that of 95, because all PCs being released now with XP have at least 256MB of ram. But back in the days of Windows 95 and 98 they didn't have really complex programs or operating systems that require more than 64MB. So it's okay making progressively more complex software, as long as equivalently powerful hardware is available to accommodate it.

Andi

But it would have been possible to make winXP needing less Megs of RAM.

Windows 95 was made to run on a 386 at 4 MB RAM.

Timballisto

They sell gig ram sticks now, don't they?

Conway

Yeah, and the next version of Windows will probably need them!
