ME is a RAM hog..it has trouble walking and chewing at the same time..I never met a system I didn't like..then I met ME! I hated when ME stopped what it was doing to take a keyboard command and just think about it for a while. I dumped it...but if it floats your boat..... I have a legal and licensed copy of ME that i so far have forgotten to try to fling like a frisbee...now that I remember..ME and I have a date with it's destiny.. splattered all over the Interstate 60 freeway. (picture of a man giving blessing to his PC with ME----):badpc:	SurferJoe46 (51)

Of course it will run on lesser hardware, but the benchmark for the best environment makes one wonder how much lesser can you get? How much do 256MB vid cards, SATA2 drives and 2GB DDR ram go for nowadays? man........this whole thing MUST be a scam.....perhaps ms have secret shares in the hardware mfgs businesses........this is ridiuclous.......you need all that hardware just to run an OS ?? crazy.........nutty.......mad.........i'll stay away from installing it on any of my 'personal' machines for sure.......	drcspy (146)

Note the part about laptops.... And in any case why fret? I only just installed XP this year. For the first time ever. There is no NEED to rush out and get a new O/S you know. In fact I had a customer the other day with Win95 on his PC. Using it for net, WP and NZAGold quite happily. Geez - anyone would think you all were being forced to use it.	pctek (84)

386130	2005-09-05 07:02:00	Don't forget Windows Vista is slotted for release in late 2006? Hardware is getting better/bigger/faster all the time so you would imagine having that sort of hardware might be more standard in desktop machine being produced around that time. What you pay now for that sort of hardware will be quite different in a years time. :)	Jen (38)

Windows for Work Groups 3.11 and Internet Explorer 3.03 should be enough for anyone ! :) I mean to say, simple surfing, Foxmail 1.6 for emails, Write for writing letters. Pentium 200MHz MMX. 128MB RAM, 640MB HDD, ample, look here: imagef1.x10hosting.com	Terry Porritt (14)
386134	2005-09-05 10:14:00	Since in my opinion, Vista is just gonna wind up being SP-99 for Windows XP anyway, I say wait for Google to present it's OPSYS . I bet it is even free for a while too . . . especially in the Beta version which will probably work better than any full release of M$ anyway . Won't THAT frost ol' Bill's bonnet? So what is the word with Google O/S? Are we about to see the end of Bills strangle hold?	Cicero (40)
