Resource hungry Lognhorn

Microsoft recommends that 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 today.

Compare this to your current configuration now. See how the OS and the applications becoming resource hungry day by day. I started working on a 8MB Ram machine. Now minimum RAM required for any average machine is 512MB. Wonder how our configuration would look 5 yrs down the line!
