Even Windows just dropped their 32GB recommendation.

Yes, but they haven't actually done the memory optimisation work. They just plan to sell underpowered machines.

    Odd to think that the Windows Vista days are coming around again.

    Wasn't that one of the reasons that people didn't like it? A lot of manufacturers basically just crammed it onto XP-spec machines, so it ran horrendously, and was generally awful to use.

    And also everyone was running garbage Windows XP applications which wanted administrator permissions and to save it's data in the Program Files folder.

    For years the accounts software we used at work required you to install it in C:\ because it couldn't handle keeping it's data and executable in different places.

    ...

    They didn't need 32 GB to run windows...

    They never needed 32 GB to run windows, they never would.

    Windows said every laptop needs what a gaming pc needs, because Windows wanted us to have that ram to use AI features that are coming.

    Like....

    They didn't have to optimize because they never needed it to begin with
