I don't think those system requirements are unreasonable at all.

And whos going to pay for that top of the range system? Not me thankyouverymuch. I can make do on a 10th of those system specs and still be facinated by computers.
Err, the copy of Longhorn I saw ran on a pretty standard laptop, and looked like a pushed forward Version of Windows XP, but with limited driver support. I mean, windows hasn't changed much since W95, don't expect 'miracles' in the interface changing.
They are right, looking ahead though. I mean WinXP when first released only supported HDD's up to 138GB, and hence 160GB HDDs didn't work properly... technology moved faster then they expected? That shouldn't mean the 'underpowered' machines shouldn't be able to use the software though. |
