No offense but I find comments like these odd on a bittorrent tracker.

Okay, then buy the newer version of their software and support them.
If you are still in school/Uni, you can easily get a discount that can lower the price a lot.

Just a moment ago I was sitting on an empty desktop and 7 is eating 1.4GiB of memory. Why does Windows do this? Because it knows I have 8GiB of RAM, it knows it can use more. Vista ran perfectly fine on my old 2 GiB Toshiba A100-VA9. If you want to talk about Ram usage, the Arch installation with Xfce desktop is using less than 350MiB of ram.

Windows memory usage is not a good way to benchmark/compare anything. You can find customized windows XP installations (or you can customize them yourself) which use 30MB of RAM when no programs are running, and the entire windows folder takes 200MB of space (yes, 99% fully functional and everything). Vista and 7 keep stuff in memory to speed up application launch (the SuperFetch service). Also the search indexer takes up a bit of space. My windows 7 x64 takes up 1.4GB with WMP11, IE9 (12 tabs), utorrent and about 10 other background tasks out of the 5GB it has at its disposal.
