I also agree that Vista is bad, more bloat, more requirements, more confusion and not much extra functionality.....although I am kind of forced to upgrade to it as I dual-boot MCE2005 and XP64 (and its becoming an annoyance), which Vista will roll into one product for me.
The 512MB memory requirement I am in no way surprised at, the requirements always go up and 1GB is entry-level for most people these days. The 128MB graphics card for Aero is surprising though, I just can't imagine what they could put in a UI that would seriously require that much video card memory......the mind boggles on that one. Perhaps they cannot judge a cards 3D performace too well and are saying all cards with 128MB or more are generally powerful enough for the features they are implementing?
