IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP
Consuming twice as much RAM as Firefox and saturating the CPU with nearly six times as many execution threads, Microsoft’s latest beta release of Internet Explorer 8 is in fact more demanding on your PC than Windows XP itself.
# 350-400MB memory footprint
# 150-200 concurrent execution threads
# 6 discrete iexplore.exe process instances
# Over 2x more demanding than Firefox
IE 8 is fatter than my word processor (Word 2007), spreadsheet (Excel 2007), and presentation software (PowerPoint 2007) combined.
It’s even fatter than Visual Studio 2008 with 10,000 lines of code and several complex, multi-part Web forms loaded into the IDE.

IE 8 may be the long awaited “killer app” that drives customers towards 4GB+ systems and the 64-bit flavors of Windows Vista/7.
