Right. And you really think a computer running a 1GHz processor and 1GB of
RAM will actually run Vista?

No. My opinion of Vista is to not use it under any circumstances <g>. My
intention was to confer the "facts", as they were, from MS own mouth.

There's a Vista PC sitting behind me, running a 2.0GHz Pentium 4. 1GB
of RAM. It's rather sluggish, although not anywhere near as bad as it
was before it was upgraded from 512MB.

To put it bluntly, Microsoft's "minimum" system specs are bull***. You
can't run Vista on a PC with those specifications, unless you don't mind
Vista running dog-slow and crashing on a regular basis.

And even then, from what Ihear.
