Vista Premium -are they joking?

[mR. djaX]

What is qualified as Vista Premium PCs by Microsoft (I guess it means that the OS will run):
- 1GHz processor
- 1GB RAM (!)
- 128MB, supporting 32bpp video card
- 40GB HDD (installation requieres 15GB!)

I think Vista requires an almost new computer (specially if it's a laptop).
What do you think?

I think vista is a bit of a resource hog!!!

I personally think that if it requires so much from a computer, why bother? I mean, I could support it but it seems like the system would, well, bog down the system.

Its gonna get crushed by its own weight.

That really is a joke, bloody Microsoft. I bet it still suffers from all old XP probs as well!

no it works with that. i have installed on my laptop and verygood. but there is no crack for it so i had to uninstall it. i gonna wait some weeks after the windows vista complete for the crack . if the crack come so thats great if no , i gonna buy original vista . you can update and super security.

just one thing. do not buy vista after just one the of its completation. wait 2 weeks . cuz always there is some problems yet. so wait 2 weeks. search about it on internet and the buy.

2 weeks??? No chance - I'll wait a good 6 months for the first service pack to come out before using it ... although I may have it on a pc to play with.

I'll let others iron out the bugs and security flaws ;-)

Def. its sure to be full of bugs and will be at LEAST 6 months before the first service pack thats what I reckon.

I don't believe microsoft will preinstall vista on computers for awhile.. technology hasn't gotten cheap enough to meet those requirements yet

I'm so depressed about Vista. M$ has dropped the ball big time. Who cares about a pretty paintjob if the shit don't run!
