You guys kinda surprise me. Many of you have top-notch systems and
components, yet you want an OS that supports mostly minimal hardware.
Why? Vista represents an OS designed to run on and fully utilize the
type of hardware that we see sold today. Big memory vidcards and lots
of system ram are the norm, as are super fat HDs, etc.

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?
