This comes from one who has been with Linux since day one, so he should know.

Hi Folks,
"Microsoft has released 'minimum' and 'recommended'
specifications for Vista.
The minimum means that the operating system will run
but some new features will be disabled. Recommended
means that this is what is needed to get the most basic
configuration of the whole package working.
VISTA HARDWARE CHECKLIST
Minimum Recommended
Processor 800MHz 1GHz 32 or 64 bit
System Memory 512MB 1GB
Graphics card DirectX 9 capable Runs Windows Aero
Graphics Memory - - 128MB
Free space on Hard Drive 15GB 15GB
Source: Microsoft"
Well, that's good news! If Vista catches on, there should be
a good bit of decent kit coming cheap onto the secondhand market
that would run Linux very nicely. Looking forward to that!
Best wishes to all,
Ted.
