its a great move. everything these days is cloud based and it works esp well in developed countries where most of the money is. i cant see why ppl would make client based software for a company if there software doesnt suck too much resources.
RAM
CPU (last column = percentage of Intel Q6000 @ 2.4GHz)
Owww... that's a REAL strain on my resources. /sarcasmHoly crap -- what's wrong with my Steam? lollol on my proccess tab it says 78,890k
it constantly takes a minimum of 175MB of ram....
Same for iTunes...
Get moar RAM? Seriously, even on 8GB Steam running while iTunes is running and there are no loading issues or performance dips. I use 16GB for headroom and stroking e-peen (more so when I get another 16GB worth), but you can run any game on 8GB while Steam and iTunes are active and not see performance dips unless you are running a fucking Core 2 Duo or something. Besides, 175MB of your memory usage would only be 20% of 1GB, and probably only 4% of 8GB. That's nothing, Origin uses almost 1GB of memory on it's own which is freaking horrible.
Okay, I saw steam go up to 110MB today, but that was with it's main window open while I was also using the overlay in a game.
While I love Steam, and the sales and business they do...I have to say it's gotta be one of the freaking buggiest programs I currently have. Half the time the store page won't even open, the community pages either take forever to load, or never do. Or my latest one, community page glitches so badly that it wouldn't fix itself until I restarted Steam altogether.(In this case, became stuck on viewing the Edit Profile page. Could move the scroll bar, nothing would happen though.)

Pretty much this, Origin Runs a lot better than Steam, Downloads faster etc.
The only thing it lacks is experience, Steam used to suck donkey dick when it first came out, but people we're too young to comprehend that.

Haha~~ Well i wont buy from them untiil they do. Time to sail with my mates again to the bay! Oh wait they dont have anything to plunder.....
I've never had any of that, though I used to have issues getting Steam to go into offline mode, but it turns out the Hamachi adapter was causing issues with Steam thinking it could do one last sync before going offline and then erroring out (and removing Hamachi fixed it). Do an uninstall and reinstall to see if it behaves better after that.
What sort of "running" is needed that any sort of speed difference would be noticed? Honest question. Does Origin respond to your button clicks 50ms faster or something?
As for download speeds I can't say one way or the other, my connection caps out at about 375KB in any case (steam, torrents, etc.).
Details?

Just mentioning Hamachi tells me that it alone could be my problem...I'll look into this one, thanks for that.
Origins been around a bit longer then one year. It's been one year since the name change from EAStore/EADownload Manager though. It's the same exact thing. They even added the ingame overlay feature to ea downloader a few weeks before the name change.
It's not noticeably faster for me, but the client though... damn, even updating the thing takes minutes! As opposed to Steam whose updates are almost instantly and you only have to wait for a client reboot.
Fuck, even downloading the Origin client is slow.

I've posted this before, but I get max downloads speeds with Origin 8 MB/s With Steam I cap at about 5
Look what people have said about steam in the past, and that is one of HUNDREDS of archived threads you can read about people talking about steam, And how it sucked back in the day.
As for details, Back in the early days of the interwebs, Steam would constantly crash, patches would fail and require games to restart, The mod tools we're broken upon download, people would get hacked, and that's just a small list.
How does Origin download faster then Steam? Seriously I want to know. My Steam account caps download capabilities of any ISP. With my connection I get 1.5MB per second download rates, one of my friends get 4MB per second and those are the fastest our ISP's service can go downloading anything. I get slower downloads from Microsoft's tech support and software servers then I do with Steam.

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -
