I disagree, Windows 7 needs a gig of Ram, a GHz of processor, 16 gig of HD space and at least a DX9 GFX card.
So basically youre saying you need a computer made in the last 5 or so years to use the latest Windows OS? I hardly see that as a reason to cry outrage. Sure there's extra unneccesary stuff, but dont like it, just remove it, it's not rocket science. Personally Im over the whole bashing Windows thing. Theyve made a pretty decent OS by now, considering its audience (ie. needs to be well and truly idiot proof). Im not a Windows fan as such, but neither do I dislike it. It drives some very nice software that I enjoy, but that's as far as my "relationship" with it goes. As for Apple, well I must admit theyve driven the wave of electronic consumerism better than probably anyone else. I guess they were a big part of creating the market so they'd want to. Im a bit disappointed that they do so well on such average products, but thier marketting tells people Apple products are good, and for the most part people believe them. Personally Ive yet to see an Apple product that has impressed me, although to be fair theyve not made any products I thought were terrible either. Just normal, albiet reasonably presented stuff. My quirk with them though is theyve somehow managed to convince people that this stuff is good. Im more of a person who likes to see things do well on the back of the quality, not the marketting. ("music" drives me nuts these days due to this, its 95% marketting, 5% product, although thankfully there's still good stuff if you look outside the box (which ironically is true of computers too))
