There's not a lot Apple can do about that, really.

The OS does its best, but for the most part, that's what you have to worry about.

And now, that being said, when you're designing an app like that, you look at the installed base of what people actually use, and if...

Computers that many people use are going to run that kind of app very slowly and it's going to blow their computers up.

You don't care because the entire industry doesn't care and you just have to suck it up as the user.

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.
