We had one beta report on the memory usage, but that was resolved by design since we actually did design it to use more memory. But the design was to use more memory on purpose to speed things up, but never unbounded \u2014 we requset the available memory and operate within that leaving at least 50M of physical memory. Our assumption was that using \/r means your disk is such that you would prefer to get the repair done and over with rather than keep working.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;\">While we appreciate the drama of \u201ccritical bug\u201d and then the pickup of \u201cshowstopper\u201d that I\u2019ve seen, we might take a step back and realize that this might not have that defcon level. Bugs that are so severe as to require immediate patches and attention would have to have no workarounds and would generally be such that a large set of people would run across them in the normal course of using their PC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;\">Sinofsky also stated that they are doing overnight stress testing of 40 machines to see if the problem can be reproduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we mentioned few days back Windows 7 RTM has a checkdisk bug .
