[XP] had the lowest RAM usage with nothing loaded at 800 MB versus 3.3 GB for Windows 11 in last place.

3.3 GB used on an 8 GB system? WTF? I've heard people complain about the RAM usage, but that's obscene.

I'm burning 10 of 32GB basically idling. Windows caches ALL the things. If I need those extra gigs, I could still use them.

Heavily depends on the edition. I don't care about 11 so idk if it happens there, but 10 Home has much higher ram usage than LTSC. The lowest I could get on an official iso was 1.6 on a fresh 2019 (i think) ltsc install
