My own subjective experience has been that things seem a little sluggish at times when I constantly close & reopen programs. Windows seems to do a good job managing memory on its own. When I opened up Sprint Navigation yesterday I checked my task manager & saw Opera was automatically closed to free up memory for the navigation. It's just my own personal experience, but just curious if anyone else noticed this? Perhaps we have gotten a little too concerned over making sure we have lots of free RAM. Unless you are running multiple memory intensive programs at once, it seems Windows 6.5 does a pretty good job managing it. Maybe that's why they left out the task manager in the update (but I did reinstall it anyway since it is helpfull for switching back & forth between tasks).
That's actually an interesting thought that I was having myself. I am beginning to wonder if perhaps the task manager could be causing the RAM memory leak....
