HUH?
MS never tells anyone what they have to buy.
I think the 1 Ghz processor speed for 7 is quite low.
I have a couple of those still around but they are old!
I bought an Emachine for my daughter in 03 and it was a 2
Ghz. (Which makes it 6 years old)
I know folks that have just upgraded to XP from 98SE.
It is the software vendors that normally require you to upgrade your
OS as they will no longer support or sell upgrades that will work
with your old OS.

Hooey. My two Macs are both over four years old. The older one runs
10.3.9, the other runs 10.5. No plans to upgrade further until I decide
to replace the older computer. My "closet" computer, a 12-13 year old
model, still runs OS 9 and works fine.
The cut-off for 10.6 is based on CPU; it requires a Mac with an Intel
processor. Mac OS 10.5 has a relatively modest minimum CPU speed.
Apple will support 10.5 until they release 10.7. Where is Apple telling
me my computer is too old? Apple is trying to tempt me to buy a newer
model, not telling me I _must_ buy the newest anything. That is a M$
model.
Thank you,
