By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

Just checked nearest computer store: cheapest desktop computer has 2.7 GHz processor. Today!
I am sure that by 2005-2006 not only 64-bit will be a mantra, but finding anything less than 3.2GHz in big computer store will be similar to finding EISA network cards in it today.
Microsoft is American company. It firstly targets American market. One that today offers 2.7 GHz CPU for email, chat, Web browsing, personal finances management and working with Office software.
The same job I can currently do very comfortable on my P-III 500 MHz with 256 MB RAM running Windows XP.
That is a hint for those who are confused about requirements for XP.
