Holy Microsoft, Batman! (or not)

Good grief! Look at what a computer will have to have MINIMUM to run Windows new operating system poised to come out in January:

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

512 MB of RAM? MINIMUM?!? Do they even CARE if schools use their OS, 'cause I don't know too many that will be able to afford the new hardware required to make Vista even limp along. Holy crap.

That MacBook is starting to look even better. Heck, even the mini is looking great. For that matter, Edubuntu is looking even better!
