Memory is cheap. There's probably better things to focus on then squeezing more bits out of the memory usage.

In what way are they screwing developers? I feel that the three avenues for writing apps (C#/xaml, c++, and html5/js) are actually pretty good for us.

I think that people here are too pessimistic in general about Windows 8.

Look at the current trends in computing. They're using those trends to influence this release. And I think that a lot of the design decisions (especially ones like "content over chrome" are really damn good).

It's going to be super interesting to see how this thing is received by non-techy people come the holiday season.
