Vista Windows
With Vista looking more and more like mac OS X and becoming more graphic intensive, I wonder how many users' computers out there can actually handle Vista. According to c|net news.com
"Although Vista is months away from launch, Microsoft has yet to give much in the way of specifics on what hardware will be needed. Thus far, the company has suggested 512MB of memory, a graphics card with a Vista-specific driver and a modern processor." Now, the industry standard for ram is 1 gig these days. But working in IT, we know that most users' systems are barely 512 MB of ram. Besides that, what does "Vista-specific driver" mean? Do we have to wait for device drivers writers to come out with correct Vista drivers for our graphics card, or spend more money and get a brand new one. It looks like Vista is a luxury most users are probably going to wait upon.
