Well, there are currently several different versions of Longhorn planned, and no Official Set of System Requirements have been published.  I believe that there may be a "Longhorn Lite" sorta thing for those of us with the many PC's that wont support the full longhorn expierience...


well there isnt actually going to be diffrent versions like that on sale but windows is going to have a system scan feature which will then set the gui to include the amount of fancy bits that your pc can run well and support.

i found the different levels:

Aero Tiers
There are various tiers of the Aero User Experience. The tiers you can run depend solely on the performance of your system. The tiers are:

    * Classic – This will be the Classic look rather like the normal Windows 2000 Classic which many companies and those who do not require flashy UIs run. It will work with the current XP Driver Model and the Longhorn Display Driver Model.

    * To Go – To Go will feature the new Longhorn look but will not have any fancy effects. This will also work with the XP and Longhorn Display Driver Model.

    * Aero Express – Aero Express will have some basic composition-based DPI scaling and a few effects, unlike “Classic” and “To Go” this Tier requires the Longhorn Display Driver Model and DX9 compatible cards.

    * Aero Glass – Aero Glass will be the premium user-experience which will showcase Glass, 3D transitions and animations. This tier will only function on higher-end graphics cards. Like “Aero Express” it requires the Longhorn Display Driver Model and DX9 compatible cards.

of course this might all change....
