That article is the same crap that has been going around for months. And you guys should know better. If MS is to see a fast return on their investment, they will need a big upgrade response after the initial released. That is were the big profits are, the OEM’s all get deep discounts on the preinstalled systems. Also, they want to maximize the potential market by being as inclusive as they can. You can bet that it will run on any low end system that is being sold by Dell right now, and probably any system that XP will run on. There might be a requirement for a 3D card, but I would expect it to run with out one. Perhaps without all of the eye candy. At the very least, it will run on any system that is still within the four year cooperate life cycle. That’s puts it on sub 2GHz systems that were being sold year before Last.
