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".

we probably have the same machine (blue and white G3 tower? I got mine for free from my work and put in an extra 256MB of RAM (512 total)). I loaded a number of OSes on there, with mixed results (though certainly not all bad) until I decided to do a "why not" and put 10.4 on it. wow. I'm amazed how this (relatively speaking) dinosaur of a computer can still handle, and still be quite usable/funcational, such a heavy weight of a modern OS (with some obvious limitations mind you.) I don't know if it's that PPC is really that good, or if OSX is (I suspect it's a combo).
look at my previous posts and you'll see I'm hardly an apple fanboy, but I gotta admit when/where I see excellent technology at work.
