Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - TheDigitalFreeway - 05-19-2006 Well, Microsoft finally has come up with system requirements for Windows Vista it appears... the full article: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6073779.html?tag=nl.e589 quote from the article of the system requirements: Quote: ...That said, Microsoft did publish official minimum requirements for Vista on Thursday, largely matching the Vista-capable specifications. Systems need an 800 MHz processor, 512MB of memory, a 20GB hard drive with 15GB of free space and a CD-ROM drive. That guarantees access to Vista's core features, but not Aero and other premium features.I personally am a mac person so I luckily don't have to deal with this :p...but I thought I'd post this for all you M$ fans out there...now then, the only remaining question is...will vista be delayed again (and there are expectations it may be..)... And even if I did own a PC...I personally would not buy Vista, why? Because all of its innovative features have been removed (such as the WinFS file system) to try and make it deliverable on time, and Micro$oft still couldn't do that, what a surprise... ...the only good things in Vista that are left, are internal coding changes that the average user will never notice, that and the very OS X like interface and to get that interface you have to have quite a powerful PC...anyways, I'll stop now... RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - eNigma - 05-19-2006 512 and 128? My GOOdness I only have 256 and 64 and better to upgrade my pc tomorrow lolz. RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - TheDigitalFreeway - 05-19-2006 64MB RAM? o_O I seriously hope you're not running XP on that computer lol ...but for the 128MB comp, I'd stick with XP Pro (if you have XP Home, upgrade to XP Pro). Reaons: 1) XP Pro is more stable than XP Home because XP Home is pretty much WindowsME with a new skin and XP Pro uses the WindowsNT kernel with full gaming support added in 2) XP Pro has many admin utilities that come in handy when troubleshooting system issues, such as the Event Viewer and the Backup utility 3) XP Pro has many more years of support coming from M$ while XP Home is due to have its support from M$ ended soon RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - eNigma - 05-19-2006 TheDigitalFreeway Wrote:64MB RAM? o_O I seriously hope you're not running XP on that computer lol ...but for the 128MB comp, I'd stick with XP Pro (if you have XP Home, upgrade to XP Pro).

Anyway, as a Micro$oft fan, I'm really excited to upgrade my os to XP SP2 to experience that IE7 and windows defender :p RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - TheDigitalFreeway - 05-19-2006 XP SP2 doesn't include IE7 last I checked...you have to download it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=64066 (although it does require SP2 apparently, also note it's still beta so it shouldn't be relied on for your main browser) RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - eNigma - 05-19-2006 TheDigitalFreeway Wrote:XP SP2 doesn't include IE7 last I checked...you have to download it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=64066 (although it does require SP2 apparently, also note it's still beta so it shouldn't be relied on for your main browser) I just need that IE7 to test how websites purely built on CSS behave and to look and feel it's environment.

Very interesting find! RE: Microsoft announces Windows Vista system requirements - Gameboy8661 - 05-24-2006 Hmm, I wonder how much a laptop with this pre-installed would cost! |
