I'm no programmer or engineer, but wouldn't introducing the copying of multiple items simultaneously require only a few extra lines of code? Surely that could fit into a tiny 40MB memory footprint no matter what?
I wasn't referring to just the "features" we are getting in this update but to the ones people always say they want, and i mentioned the footprint reduction not because of the small features that require code tweaking but to point out that they have done a lot to the OS already and to bring up the point they probably don't want to mess with it too much as it is.
I think it was only a few updates ago that they managed to block people using their own HDD for no reason and had to update it again to fix the problem that crept up out of nowhere.
Sony aren't a software company and it isn't their strong suit, and they sure don't have the engineers that MS do to fit all the changes and features that they managed to fit into the smaller footprint the 360 uses.
