and even when they do change hardware requirement, its usually for the
better, not worse. as has been said, 7 uses little more then xp, and 8
uses less then 7!

Hi Charles and all,
If you want to make that argument consider this. When Windows Vista
came out Windows XP was already six years old, and it introduced a lot
of new graphics technology that wasn't possible on the hardware specs
in 2001. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 use the exact same hardware
requirements as Windows Vista, and actually run better on the same
hardware specs. So your argument of having to replace your hardware
every time Microsoft upgrades doesn't hold water. I really urge you
guys to research your facts before making baseless arguments like this
because Microsoft does not change system requirements every two years
or for every Windows upgrade like you suggest.
Cheers!

Another thing about new technology--Microsoft's Windows in particular: I
buy a computer to do tasks, not to run the operating system. If I have to
buy a new PC because my old one doesn't have enough CPU power, it can't be
loaded with enough RAM, the hardware isn't supported by the new OS, and I
need to move along with technology, I will do so. However, 2 years down the
road, before the bugs have been worked out of this OS I bought the new PC to
be able to operate, Microsoft comes out with a new, more demanding OS. Two
years later, another one that is more demanding. Two years later, another
one that is more demanding. Before I know it, thanks only to Microsoft, I
have another obsolete computer. I need to buy another one to handle the new
technology. This! is! crap!
