Longhorn?

<< < (8/11) > >>

Regardless of what Microsoft has said about longhorn scaling down,we should not forget Microsoft's previous system requirements for their OS's...

Win2000 P133 64MB RAM (yeah right)
WinXP p233 64MB ram (hahahah!)

Those requirements were a complete joke. I'm sure longhorn's minimum requirements will be equally ridiculous.

WMD:
And to add:

Windows 95, 386/33 with 8MB RAM
Windows 98, 486DX2/66, 24MB RAM (95 wasn't even good on this)
Windows ME, Pentium 150, 32MB RAM

Longhorn's box will probably end up saying something like P3/500 with 128MB RAM.  And it won't run on that.

No. It will 'walk' on that. :D

WMD:
Ah yes, walk.  Much the way Mozilla 1.3 walks on an iMac G3 with 32MB RAM. \o/

(I've done it.  It's not pretty.)

I had a similar experience. See those minimun requirements up there for Windows 95? I actually installed Win95 in on a machine that met those exact specs once. I remember it taking about 5 minutes to boot up. I set up a modem and dialed into the internet and simple text webpages would take 45 seconds to render on the screen.

I threw the machine in the trash shortly afterwards.
