I hope the presentation on Vista last night was interesting

Some more details about Vista are available at this Microsoft site
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/default.mspx

If you follow the link to read the system requirements it says that Vista is CAPABLE of running on:

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.
However to get the 'full' Vista experience you need:

A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:

  • 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1.
  • 1 GB of system memory.
  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)2, Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel.
  • 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
  • DVD-ROM Drive3.
  • Audio output capability.
  • Internet access capability.
If you look through the links on this page you can read through some of the features that will ship in Vista that we couldn't see very well last night like transparent windows and so on
Cheers
