Yes, lets lose all the freedoms and other advantages we get from using linux and move to windows!!!
Lets throw years of people's work down the drain and support another nasty Trans-national company that, ultimatley, is only out for itself and doesn't give a damn about its users
Choice and variety is a good thing and should be encouraged, people aren't all the same and cannot be expected to agree on everything, there are bound to be differences along the way and this is why, in the open source world, there are different pieces of software that do similar jobs.
Remember: nobody forced a variety of distros and desktops into the open source world, they developed naturally, because different people have different values and those affect what they believe makes better software, ultimatley the variety induced by these naturally differing values is what makes Linux and Open source software so great
I use linux, and I have a Machine with 512 MB RAM (please don't ask me two put another 512 stick in, because I really don't need it) I have always found when deciding what amount of space to allocate to the swap, that twice the amount of RAM, works perfectly.
However physically you may be able to have as much swap as you want you've got to ask yourself, what's the point!
