Hot on the heels of our previous story outlining the fiasco that Vista's release has been, TechRepublic's Jason Hiner predicts that Microsoft is aware of its blunder and will respond by making a release of Windows 7 ahead of schedule (primarily by overhauling Vista and calling it Windows 7, it seems) in order to encourage its enterprise clients to upgrade directly from XP to Windows 7.

Yes, Ubuntu can be seen as a memory hog and way to slow.
Try a distro like Slackware for example and see your machine fly.
Don't get me wrong, I use Ubuntu too, I just upgraded this machine to 8.04... and WOW !
but there are services enabled by default that I do not need, nor did I ask for them.
Why should I need evolution-alarm-notify to be running all the time when I do not use evolution ? speaking of which, why is it that when I try to
aptitude remove evolution
it also tries to remove ubuntu-desktop
I call that unwanted bloat.
I have searched and searched and cannot find the answer as to why Ubuntu is slow and a memory-hog... 430mb on this machine compared to other desktop distros like Mandriva and Fedora.
