The OS shouldn't be the computer! It should be just the building block for what you really want to do... use it! I blogged this issue. It's insane. I can't sell this to someone. It's has no user end functionality http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=62875138 Dell, HP, and them can make these $549. specials and have heart not to tell the customer "It will work", but I can't. I too nice. Yea, In Betas, people screamed about how much memory this monster beast. The OS shouldn’t be the computer! It should be just the building block for what you really want to do… use it!

Vista is great but there need to be compatibility with older drivers as well.. EX: i have a midi keyboard controller, it uses windoes xp.. the developers haven't yet made a driver that will work in Vista.. same goes for my tv card. spex: Athlon Xp 2400+ oc'd 256mb Geforce FX 5600+ oc'd 2gb of pc 3200 ram k7n2 deluxe mobo.. over 600 gb of hard drive space. still runs super fast.

What those do is boot you to a dedicated environment just for running your favorite MP3, videos, etc. So normal bootup is still required for, say, word processing.

From what I've heard, the minimums are going to be in the area of a 2GB memory block, a 2.2GHz processor, and at <i>at least </i>a minimum of a 128MB video card (not that we all don't already have one). I'd like to see them prove their claims, though. 2 to 3 seconds to load even Win98 on the above system -- and be ready to process on the fly -- would take a miracle. Unless good ol' Bill is a God, It ain't happening.
