@rauschma We were just talking about this idea last night... "Windows now ships with 32GB of RAM, so let's use 24GB for OS processes!" (yes, 24GB was made up, but the concept is there.) Also, I have noticed that my work phone (an iPhone) has been crappier since the last foolish update. I don't care about the pretty. I just want the damn things to work well.
