Publik Skooles thnax to Brown vs. Board of Education. 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. |

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. |

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. Paul |

Try running Windows 8 or 8.1 out of Pool Memory, then come back and tell me how well behaved it is :-( 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. Test case: Install VirtualDub. Install the NeatVideo demo filter.

They pick up their trash before leaving a protest site? |
