This may not seem a problem on the desktop, but RAM still is a major limitation on servers, and don't even talk of virtual machines.

- JoachimSchipper 16y agoLibraries are still shared among multiple instances of the same process, and just how big are libraries anyway? Most servers run only a handful of (very busy) processes...
- djacobs 16y agoThat may be true, but RAM is not so limited (even on VMs/servers) that DLLs are worth the extreme hassle. Case in point: Linux (for me) runs much better on a minimal VM than any version of Windows.
- wazoox 16y agoDoes not compute. Linux too uses dynamic shared libraries, and you can also link programs to a specific version of a .so, or bind it with your binary distribution (see Firefox, Chrome), such binding posing problems to distributions : Debian just dropped chromium from Squeeze exactly because of that.
