Installed nt4.0 beta on a machine last night just to have a look. It's Windows NT 97. But the machine, sitting idle, doing nothing was consuming 15.5 megs of RAM. There were no applications running, no icon menus up. The only thing up was th one utility to let me look at rescources. 15.5 meg, idle. X is a bloated pig, but doesn't use that kind of RAM. My biggest problem with NT (and OS/2 suffers from this as well) is the huge amount of overhead necessary to run it. It's pretty though. It might take 2 hours to do one thing on any machine with less than 64 megs of RAM, but boy does it look nice. Jamie I have my finger on the pulse of the planet.
