I got gifted an old MacBook (I never thought of buying one myself) and started using it mainly because I liked the UI, but I'm generally speaking a windows user at work and Linux sysadmin at home.

When I checked up the MacBook systems, I see it has 4 GB of RAM and I thought "that's pathetic!"

But surprisingly enough, the Mac OS handled everything I throw at him with decent performance and I've never felt the OS was overwhelmed.

I don't know if this is a testament of how well integrated and optimised Mac OS is (after all, it's still BSD) or how bad Windows is.

But still, for the price they're charging for these machines, adding at least a couple of gigs of RAM would be expected!

I think Unix got a smidge better and windows got insanely bad.
