Microsoft Cracks Under Pressure as RAM Prices Skyrocket

Microsoft has been working on improving Windows 11's memory efficiency and latency. According to Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft's executive VP for Windows and Devices, the company will be removing promotional content from web results when searching locally, which is seen as a minor improvement rather than a significant one.

The main focus of the updates will be on reducing the amount of RAM required for acceptable performance on Windows 11 machines. This comes at a time when the personal computer industry has seen plummeting sales due to the high price increases of flash chips and RAM, making it difficult for people to afford new systems.

Microsoft's decision is not driven by kindness, but rather by necessity. The company wants to make Windows 11 more accessible to a wider audience, even if it means admitting that its previous memory management was 'horrendous'. No specific date has been given for when these improvements will be implemented.
