Ok it supposed to use less memory BUT
is it explorer and svhost is running high?
i compared with my fren's processes for other application like pidgin.. pidgin on window FLP is much higher

Hmm.. Not me. If I'm not mistaken, it's not an operating system for the masses but rather a cheaper option for large corporations that do not want to spend money upgrading both hardware and software just to streamline operations on Windows XP.

BTW, as for memory usage, I believe they are talking about the Windows kernel, not third-party applications like Firefox, etc. Their memory usage should not differ much, whether it's on Windows FLP or regular Windows XP.
