Windows Doesn't Scale!
Recently I got to talk with a couple of people about scaling problems in Windows. We got into discussion how it's hard to get ASP.Net to send files that are bigger than 2 Gigabytes, how Asp.Net gets unresponsive when you put thousands of subfolders under the web application folder, how Inidgo will only allow a measly 80,000 Terabytes of data per message.
It turned out that I found another one, trying to scroll through a search result of ~8,000 images set to thumbnail is very slow and you can Drag and Drop stuff to other windows (or it takes too long). Memory usage seems to be high as well.
Truly, Windows is not ready for the prime time.
