TELVM

Resource Monitor => Memory is better for understanding this stuff: Private = amount of physical memory in use by the process that can not be used by other processes. Shareable = amount of physical memory in use by the process that can be shared with other processes. Working set = Private + Shareable. Commit size = Think of it as 'potential pagefile usage' (if there was such one present). The best indicator of the practical impact a single process has on memory is private.

^ When I read this my first thought was "they're repressing dissidence again by deleting 'troublesome' posts" (that forum is in MS pocket). But nope, if I click on the link now it goes directly to that post, so dunno. Try this one. Never mind, the usability of this forum's interface is an extenuating circumstance for any quoting crime perpetrated.

For the sake of Se7en users, the above might be applicable to W7 systems if you've ever installed Windows Live Essentials 2011 or the Bing Bar.

Speaking of lab rats, here's an epic post I found somewhere else: http://www.overclock.net/t/1583423/tt-windows-7-users-arent-budging-despite-free-windows-10-upgrade/200_100#post_24698545

In the deep blue sea, circumnavigating the world with Mr. Belfiore?

Speaking for myself, as of today I'm happier than a pig in mud on (sabotage-protected) W7, and will keep it alive and healthy for as long as it's realistically possible. But in the not too distant future, given that MS no longer releases usable operating systems, I'll have to embrace change and jump ship to something else (Linux or whatever). ^ Exactly, this situation is just beyond surreal. But that's what there is.

^ Attention on deck! NoelC just had THE eureka moment!

^ Epic!

Epic comment:

Nowadays "security" is like a Moloch on whose altar liberties must be sacrificed one after another. We can always hope but being realistic come to this point the chance of that happening tends to zero. If Dante could test X, he'd tell us: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". All that there is left is enjoy Se7en while it lasts (watchfully protecting it from filicidal sabotage), then look elsewhere.

While we're so metaphorical:

^ Extremely wise words.

^ Reminds me of general Segdwick's famous last words: "Rest easy boys, they couldn't hit an elephant at this distanc ... AAAARGH!"

^ Epic.

Users to Microsoft:

^ That's a relatively simple mobo with just 4+1+1 phases and lacking heatsink on some of the CPU VRMs, only suitable for moderate OC (without further tinkering).

^ Exactly what I'm focused on currently. The writing is on the wall, just look at Wintel sabotaging W7 installation on Skylake ...
