I can’t start IE on a Turion X2 @2GHz, 4GB ram (win 7), because it 
literally eats my CPU.
It crashes my PC. It is terrible.
Firefox works fine.
This 
thread has been totally going OffTopic :)
But as I love this kind of 
discussion, I will give my opinion.
1)Apps, not just MS ones, aren't 
optimized anymore. I still remember the discussions, when coding, with 
pointer=pointer+1; and pointer++; or how functions were optimized to be able to 
run in a limited hardware. And sure, an old Internet Browser was "eating" about 
10 MB while one nowadays needs about 200MB. 20 times more. Stats taken from 
latest IE with just one tab opened, same applies to FF and Chrome.
2)Windows 
7 is able to run with less than 1GB. I was able to run it in 512MB, not as its 
antecessor Vista.But Vista was just an agreement with Hardware companies to 
force the movement to 3GB Ram and x64 in laptops, preparing the scene for 7 and 
8.
3)MS needs a new push. 7 doesnt introduce any new *killer* features for 
Governments or *Commun* Enterprises. That is the main reason that nowadays XP is 
still present in 80% of their computers which are being used mainly for 
Writting/EXCELing purposes. The other 20% is coming from the new *enforced* 
Pcs/Laptops which directly comes with 7 installed. I just know 1 company which 
decided *freely* to move to 7, but it was a Videogames company. When you *force* 
a company to move from one product to another one(i.e: stopping Support ) it 
creates the current *not*lovely*image* MS has. The day MS is able to convince 
people to buy freely their new OS version, that day its *$* image will begin to 
change.. 
PS: Peace and Love.
