You are right. That is the first thing I thought when I saw Windows 8.

Microsoft created this version of Windows to appeal to the deliberately
dumbed downed students produced by our worthless educational system,
that are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Wish you had included a narrative. After 3 browsers and 2 computers, I
read all of your comments, and found the no sound sentence at the end.

I stopped watching. :-(

I know it's poor, but if you read on i did ask if some one else could do it
to give a better comparision. As i said i don't know enough about windows
to do this kind of thing properly. even so what i found out was very
interesting. win8.1 ran better than win 7.

Try running Windows 8 or 8.1 out of Pool Memory,
then come back and tell me how well behaved it is :-(

Test case:

Install VirtualDub. Install the NeatVideo demo filter.
Have it process an AVI. The filter leaks 200KB of memory per
second (purely a function of time and not activity). Once
Pool Memory hits about 7GB used (on my 8GB machine), Win8.1 falls apart.
And becomes completely uncontrollable (Task Manager may be
up on your screen, but it won't respond). In fact, Task
Manager may end up using 35% of your CPU.

And that to me, in 2013, is pathetic. Bad architecture.
The ugly old Task Manager on WinXP won't do that. It would
still be working! WinXP has much better behavior (even though its
Pool engineering is poorer). WinXP has lower limits on Pool.
But at least, most of the time, I can count on Task Manager
to be there when I need it. Only 3D games leave a hole in WinXP,
when it comes to guaranteeing you can recover. I haven't played
enough 3D games on Win 8, to compare that aspect.

You did more than I know how to do! LOL Doing video has never
really interested me, although I just learned how to do a Quicktime
video to give a vendor the steps I performed to bring up a bug in their
software.

If pool memory is a swap partition. IE: When ram is used up then swap is
used and yes this will slow a pc down regardless of OS used. The way to get
round that is to have a swap partition on a second hard drive. I done this
once and it made all the difference. And i Assume if a small ssd drive is
used for this perpose it should work good.

Install VirtualDub. Install the NeatVideo demo filter.

What's your problem with the Tea Party? They pick up their trash before
leaving a protest site?
