Windows As expected, the software giant on May 18 unveiled its Windows Vista Get Ready Web site, along with a set of minimum PC hardware guidelines for Vista Capable PCs - which call for at least an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and a DirectX 9-capable graphics processor, but ask for more for those who seek to use all of Vista's features - and a Windows Upgrade Advisor application as part of a campaign to prepare people. on a related note, the WinFS team whetted the appetites of advocates of Microsoft's next-generation file system by sharing information on plans for a new, Microsoft-developed application for WinFS, code-named "Project Orange".

Me all over?

As we know, Me was nothing short of groundbreaking..


It also reminds me of the Windows 95 hardware requirements of a 486 (or 386 w/ math coprocessor) and 8 MB RAM.

I'll never forget watching Windows 95 crawl to life on a 386DX - with 16 MB..

Ah those were times... This was what I used to work with - W95 + Office 97 on a 486DX2-66 with 8 MB RAM.
