Did Bill Gates really say that?
Most commentators are recommending at least 1 GB of RAM for Windows Vista, with 2 GB being needed for heavier applications. I can’t help thinking of the 1981 quote widely attributed to Bill Gates, “640K ought to be enough for anybody.” To be fair, I should point out that Gates denies that he ever said any such thing and there is no specific citation to be found. Still it makes a good story and Gates has been known to trip on a prediction. Almost three years ago he definitely said, “Spam will be a thing of the past in two years’ time.”
