Well - I just returned from an IT Conference where I learned a little about the new OS - Windows Vista. First of all, the OS looks a little like the Mac OSX (who would have thought 
) and second, it's geared toward the young people, it's a total toy friendly OS. Lots of support for games and iPods and all the other crap that you can hook to your PC.
Here's the real kicker - to run this OS the System requirements must be (so you know you better double):
PIII or higher
512 MB of RAM - recommended 1 GB or more
64 MB 3D AGP or PCI X card with Direct X 9
2 GB of available free space on the HD
They also recommended the 64 bit OS over the 32 bit OS
Holy Sh1t! You will have to buy a new PC if you want to run it, because how many 1-2 year old PC's out there have that type of build. It certainly doesn't look like a corporate friendly OS, more for home use. Oh well...It is Microsoft.
Release date scheduled for Fall of 2006. And, there already working on the next generation OS after Vista - code named Blackcomb.
