I have had the displeasure (when repairing a customers machine) of using a 64bit version of Windows 7 with 2GB of RAM. Not a good experience in the slightest, took ages to boot to the desktop, as long again to load most programs, and was so slow in general, timing it via a calendar would be more fitting than a stopwatch.
Windows 8.1 64-bit runs just fine on 2 GB, even though this value is in the "system requirements" Microsoft lists for the 64-bit version, it only uses about 800~900 MB by itself.
I'd blame the start-up time and slowness when loading on third-party applications starting with the system, or something else, or other hardware component. Anyway, I think we should take the latest version to discuss properly, Windows 8 introduced Fast Boot and they made it lighter so that more tablet-like PCs could handle it well I'm sure talking about Windows 7 is not a good idea anymore.The Windows 8.x 32-bit version system requirements says 1 GB, but it's a really bad idea to have any PC on 1 GB... It doesn't run well compared to the 64-bit version on 2 GB... I'd rather make this cheap RAM upgrade and go with the 64-bit version if the rest of the system isn't ancient also.

Several packages that you can install with apt-get are more up to date, for example blender. There are also repositories that aren't included in 14.04, for example you can only in 15.04 install ffmpeg by default. 15.04 use systemd when booting, which is faster and more modern. Unity has several small improvements, you also have an "open in terminal" option in Nautilus (the file manager), which will open a terminal and cd to the directory you are in in Nautilus (very smart).
