I've completed a specification for how to present the requirements in
USC.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Triaged

** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: software-center
+ software-center 3.0.4, Ubuntu 10.10
- The Software Center contains no information about the minimum hardware
requirements for the listed applications.
- This is not usually a problem, since most of the software is free, and can
easily be uninstalled if ones computer can't handle. However, with the
introduction of commercial software, one can be in a situation where the
software one hs purchased will not run properly on one's hardware.

introduction of commercial software, one can be in a situation where the

For instance, I recently purchased the game Brukkon. An excellent game, I'm
sure, but it is unplayable on my netbook, and I had no way to know that my
netbook wasn't powerful enough.
I also own a desktop machine, so I can enjoy the game there, but some people
may only own a netbook, or an old laptop, or maybe there will soon be games in
the Software Center with much higher hardware requirements.
For this reason, I suggest that it should be a requirement for all
commercial software that wants to get into the Software Center to list
its minimum hardware requirements in the description.
