Look, I also run the latest KDE with moderate amounts of eye-candy on
two machines with only 256 MB of RAM.  They're also both running ssh,
mail, and web servers in the background, yet swap is rarely (if ever)
touched (current usage is 120 MB, even with the memory hog,
Einstein@Home, running).  Desktop resolution is 1280x1024.  Perhaps you
should actually *try* it before dismissing it so foolishly.

Microsoft software doesn't get released - it escapes, leaving
a trail of destruction behind it.
