Martin, why, when Garage Band is bundled, will that be an additional purchase? Also, she did not claim that Apple invented the desktop search, only that Apple already has it native in the OS. According to one industry analyst who attends MS conferences, minimum requirements (which won't be published officially until mid-year) are "512 megabytes (MB) or more of RAM, a dedicated graphics card with DirectX® 9.0 support, and a modern, Intel Pentium- or AMD Athlon-based PC." In another article, the same analyst noted (at the Microsoft Watch site) that Microsoft had announced that the average user should have "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 [currently] on the market." What this suggests is that "minimum" is going to mean the same thing it has in the past: sluggish performance with many features disabled.
