Ed Bott over at Zdnet did some virtual machine tests on how well Windows 7 runs one 512 Megabytes of RAM. He compared the results to Windows XP and Windows Vista for a broader picture with some surprising results. Windows XP used less RAM and less disk resources than the newer operating systems which is not surprising at all. Windows 7 on the other hand was able to come strong in second place while Windows Vista was clearly the system with the highest resource usage.
