those min. specs are high. I cant wait til Mac gets released on x86 hardware. It will dominate Windows because its just so much faster with less system requirements. Imagine running OS X on a 3.8 ghz 4 gb ram! It would be unbelievibly fast. Longhorn, or vista as they are now calling it, in my oppinion is going to fail unless they make it really fast with alot of new features otherwise people are going to stick with XP because its what were used to now. XP is the longest standing OS windows has had out before another desktop PC OS release. People are used to xp, and arent going to pay $300 to upgrade something that still works fine.
