Longhorn, Microsoft's new operating system, has a trick up its sleeve. While previous OS's either ran or didn't this one will be different. Depending on the power of the computer, this will determine the features that the OS will run. In the end, we'll probably need a new computer to get all of the bells and whistles of the new OS. Some things never change.
At last year's WinHEC, developer sources said that Microsoft was going to recommend the "average" Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market.
