The final release isnt out yet is it? Is it beta?

FYI:
Although Microsoft has not officially released suggested hardware requirements, developers close to the development project have been quoted as saying that Longhorn will run best on computers equipped with a CPU speed of between four and six gigahertz (GHz), a minimum of two gigabytes (G of memory (RAM), and a hard drive that holds at least one terabyte - that's approximately 1,000 gigabytes - and a graphics processor that runs four times faster than those on the market today.


Gulp!!!

Dont believe everything you hear.

Those specs originally came from MACrumors.com

Those specs are not only unrealistic, but downright silly. Of course, we have to look at the suggested release date which is early 2005. There will be very few systems out there capable of running with those "minimum" specs.

I've also read that some people have been running the beta version on p4 2ghz machines with 512meg ram etc. Also without too many problems you wouldnt expect with beta software.

The actual specs havent been released officially by microsoft... as far as I can find anyways.
