Windows Vista set to swallow 800MB of RAM

A CHAP who managed to sneak a peek at the Vole's internal beta version 2 of Windows 53xx informed us that, even while idling, Vista eats as much as 800Mb of system memory. Also Vista occupies roughly three times more HDD space than Windows XP. In fact, it'll require up to a whopping seven gigabytes of drive space.
