You want to think that they would look at the entire field of computers out there and be like,

Should we maybe not use all the RAM in the world?

Should we maybe put a second of effort into not duplicating this thing over here?

Nope.

Nope.

No one thinks that way at all.

No one pays attention.

Not a single software developer ever cares about that kind of stuff when making things like, you know, various electronic apps and things like that.

So like Apple does care a lot.

No one else does.

yes, the 8 gig RAM constraint in the Mac Neo keeps Mac OS lean, but Mac OS wasn't your problem.

Your problem is everyone else, and they're going to do whatever they're going to do.

And the best thing Mac OS can do is have really good swap and virtual memory support.

And it does.

Yeah, I think that's the kind of product that it sounds like a fun, interesting idea, but I think the reality of it would be weird and would disappoint people.

And Apple is pretty good in most cases, Vision Pro, from keeping products out of the market that would end up that way.
