Microsoft retains 1GB RAM limit on netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Another limit that Microsoft has in place is a hard limit on the amount of
| RAM you can have in a “Netbook”, or more specifically how much RAM
| the “netbook” edition of Windows will tolerate. In this case, it'll allow an
| absolute maximum of 1GB. You might think that's plenty for a “Netbook” - but
| we all know that the hardware demands of systems change rapidly, and when
| a “netbook” version of Vista is released I am sure it'll be anything but
| RAM-friendly.
|
| Microsoft could change this restriction in the future, but why have it in the
| first place? In today's world, 1GB of RAM is really not that much. Even a
| desktop user with an office suite, an IM app, a few minor programs and
| content-laden web pages can push themselves up to the wall with a mere 1GB
| available.
