I don't understand why an operating system would require 2 GB of RAM

or even 1 GB of RAM, or half that. What's it doing with it all, filling it with DLLs? Or is that mostly free memory, in which case, why make it a minimum requirement?

Probably that Aero fancy graphics thingy...

..that was slow and shit in Vista but they have improved in Windows 7....apparently

It probably doesn't need that

but if they say that, there's an awful lot of people who will go and buy new PCs

There is rather a lot of other shite running in the background.

you'll need 10% of it.
