Windows Vista hardware requirements

[Daniel Robitaille]

An online article about the possible recommended hardware requirements
for the incoming Microsoft Vista:
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2005/09/07/vista_hardware_reqs/

The highlights according to that article:

*) graphic card with 256MB of memory
*) dual-core CPU
*) ram: at 32-bit, minimum 512mb, but ideally should be 1gb; 2gb for
64-bit configuration
*) SATA hard drives
*) HDCP compatible monitor

While I see Breezy's hardware requirements increasing slightly compared
to Hoary and Warty (my small 256mb desktop seems a bit more sluggish
with 5.10 compared to previous versions),  I have trouble imagining
Ubuntu's hardware requirements in 2 years being anywhere near these
specs for Vista.
