I still played outside when Vista was about to be out, so I don't know... but XP is extremely light for our days. :V And yeah, I use the x64 version and it's a good hog, but I have 4GBs here on my laptop and I have no problems with memory at all, and most people probably use 8GB+ on their desktops.
And woah, I didn't know the search thing. :colonveeplusalpha: But the menu is still far worse than Win7's imo.... we can't even create shortcuts on the desktop from there.... but Start8 completely solved my problems. :3
I hope its store thing grows soon because most apps it currently have are quite useless for me. :V
