Windows Microsft has made hard statements about perfomance improvements in Longhorn. They claim that applications will load 15% faster than in XP, while boot time is decreased by 50%. They also claimed that Longhorn will be able to wake up from sleep in 2 seconds. Users should also expect half as many reboots during patching. Time to dust of those trustworthy stopwatches.

Not long ago WinSuperSite.com (MS butt-kissing Paul Therriott's site) said Longhorn required a minimum of 3ghz P4 or 1.8Ghz Pentium M, with 512MB of RAM. Has that changed, for the better?

It would be nice if you could run it on stuff you can buy today, i.e. P-M 1.5Ghz, P4 2.8Ghz, etc.
