当 Windows Vista が 2007 年に正式にリリースされる時（うまくいけば、もう遅延はないはず）、その PC ハードウェアの要件は、新しい OS ライセンスを取得するよりも、あなたの財布に大きな穴を開ける可能性があります。
Microsoftは、2つのPCセットについて次の2つの仕様を発表しました：Windows Vista対応PCとWindows Vistaプレミアム対応PC。
A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:
* A modern processor (at least 800MHz1).
* 512 MB of system memory.
* A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:
* 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1.
* 1 GB of system memory.
* A graphics processor that runs Windows Aero2.
* 128 MB of graphics memory.
* 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
* DVD-ROM Drive3.
* Audio output capability.
* Internet access capability.
A minimum 512MB memory to run Vista? Now that's a killer.

Yeah, who needs Vista? I’d stick to my Ubuntu Linux PC and my dad’s Mac mini. No more windows for me.
But darn it! Those specs are high and expensive, it’s like building a powerhouse gaming rig minus the games.
