My answer: Because you're writing an OS you're supposed to make it leave a small a footprint as possible so the user has more resources for other things. But I see what you mean.
WHOA, I didn't realise that Windows 7 would chew up such resources! Geez, at least try and make it compact so that the user can actually benefit from having the extra speed, ram and HDD space. I'm so used to XP, who knows if I will ever change! Is there even a point to go to 7?
