With the last panther update I feared my G3 B&W 300Mhz Tower wouldn't be able to run it, but it works flawless.

Well most peecee guys won't be pleased to see this then:
Longhorn Reqs

lol

2006 eh...  Thats ok. Im sure we'll all be running our Quad G6's which will  have a Gig on board ram, come prestalled with 8Gigs of DDR Ram, have 512MB Graphics cards in 16x slot, and be playing with each other accross our Terrabyte connections

news flash though, apparently there are great new security features in Long horn - You now can't press cancel to log in if you don't have a password

Yeah but the funny part is they are gonna release an alpha preview next week, I wonder who of the guys that are getting the preview, will be able to run it

Apparently if you don't have those specs, you can still run the system but you get an interface that looks basically like Win98  ... lovely what an inprovment eh

These specs aren bulshit - sorry guys, but they dont come from  officials, and seem to be more a joke to me then a realistic system requirement

In the Intel/ AMD Prozessor world the prozessor speed didnt change for a year now. 3Ghz are the max for a year now.

And they wont be able to change this in the near future. The New selling argument is 64Bit and not the clock speed.

The whole thing is a joke. I would say that todays machines would run Longhorm without problems.
