Some of the best bits:
"Minimum 40Gb hard drive"
"The network adapter must comply with Microsoft Windows Logo Program
System and Device Requirements. In addition, the network adapter must be a

includes built-in capabilities for supporting a broadband Internet
connection."

systems for now 1/4 the price of what Microsoft's "minimum" that you
should pay.
