"Vista is also going to be the fastest Windows ever. Of course, you'll need a really fast—say 3GHz or better—processor, 512MBs of RAM, and a high-end graphics processor, but hey, you'll only need to upgrade, say, 90 percent of your company's computers. You can afford that?
I mean you wouldn't want to upgrade to say SUSE Linux Professional 9.3, Red Hat's Fedora Core 4 or Debian 3.1, which can already do everything Vista will do tomorrow on less expensive hardware for less money today would you?
Of course not!"
Haha, the author clearly has a good sense of humor. Hits the nail on the head, nothing new with Longhorn to use *nix users. Just another overpriced OS to sell more 3Ghz Intel boxes.
