Shouldn't new OS releases be more efficient? It does not make sense to me why it would require more hardware. If you have sufficient hardware for XP, there should be no reason you need more just for an OS.

I can see if you want to utilize the latest video and gaming software, perhaps you might need to look at your system. But an OS should come out of the box capable of running as lite or heavy as needed. Don't assume bloat is what we all want.

I have heard good things about W7, but I'll probably stick with Ubuntu for the foreseeable future.
