Well, for the geeks anyway. ;)

I just bought a gig of memory for my laptop so I can run and develop on the Longhorn PDC bits. Now, granted my machine would be more than enough to run a release version of Longhorn if it were released today being that it had 512 megs of memory, a DX9 GPU and a 2.8GHz processor, but something tells me it will be on the low end when Longhorn is actually released three or more years from now.
