its from http://www.pcworld.c.....114615,00.asp well, i guess by this requirement to me is considering middle or low... i heard microsoft wanted to do that to longhorn... well, i'm not surprise... and the requirement for longhorn is said to be much higher den this... i wonder would i get longhorn when it come out... hm...
