Windows Mobile 7 is expected to be a dramatic improvement over 6.1, shown here, but when will it arrive?
Miniman closes by saying: “Microsoft is working like mad to make Windows Mobile 7 be an OS that we all drool over (both for businesses and consumers), and they’ve listened pretty well to our bitching and [...]
That said, I would start by making the initial size the same as the amount of ram in the computer and the maximum size a bit larger. At the end of your computing day, check how big the file is (in Windows XP, the file name is pagefile.sys and, by default, it is in the [...]
