By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

With around 10 or so tabs open, Mozilla Firefox takes upwards of 70-80 megs of ram. That is simply unacceptable when Opera, a browser with many more features, takes only 34 megs of ram with the EXACT SAME PAGES OPEN. I'm not an opera fanboy, and I'm not a mozilla hater - if Firefox used this little ram, I would use it over Opera any day - but this amount of ram usage is simply unacceptable.
You're obviously misinterpreting your memory usage. You need to look at the VIRTUAL SIZE (VSZ) not resident set size (RSZ).
It's the same on Windows. Enable the virtual size column under the task manager.
