Minimum Requirements for Longhorn

According to this, the minimum requirements for Longhorn could possibly be 3Ghz. Is it just me or is that just a little bit fucking insane?

As far as I'm concerned the higher the requirements the better, hardware manufacturers will push clock speeds and memory bandwidth thru the roof trying to keep up with M$'s bloat. The more of these systems they make the cheaper they get. Install linux/FreeBSD etc on such a machine and you have a rocketship. Seems to me like a win / win situation for non M$ users.   :D

I'm thinking about 1Ghz and 512MB ram for Longhorn.

And this guy (a clear Windoze fan) seems happy about 3Ghz not being good enough.  Wtf?  :confused:

I'M SURE 3Ghz is insane, if loghorn was out today.

it comes out in 2006/2007

processor speeds be way more that 3 Ghz then

*nix wont matter it runs on anything, the hardware that longhorn runs would make a damn fine server running freebsd.

Xp requirements are:
300mhz
128 Ram
1.5Gb Hard drive.

I'd guess for Longhorn:
800mhz
256Ram
2-3GB

Are those the absolute minimum requirements or realistic minimum requirements?  

Win95  requirements said a 386 with 8 MB of ram, but I tried it and found the computer was so slow that it was functionally useless.  

Win98 says it will run on a 486/66 but it's really pokey on a Pentium 200 (which runs Win95 nicely).
