An interesting post made by Long Zheng refers to a slide at a PDC presentation. The interesting tidbit is that Windows 7 is able to cut memory usage of each window by 50% thanks to improved GPU utilization and the usage of Direct 3D 10.1.

This is another good reason to believe the rumors floating around saying that Windows 7 will be able to run smoothly on a minimum of 1GB RAM.
