Guys, these "minimum specs" aren't minimum specs to RUN LONGHORN AT ALL, these are the minimum recommended configuration to run longhorn with "all the bells and whistles" (i.e. the Shader Model 2.0+ based 3d graphical user interface). Longhorn will provide "a Windows XP like experience" on hardware currently running Windows XP. Remember, there are THREE GUI levels: Aero Glass, the top of the line 3d interface, Aero, the cut down 3d interface, and Jade, the 2d, similar-to-windows-xp interface that should run just fine on your Athlon 2100+ or whatever you have.

Yay for parallel x86-32 and x86-64 builds, and instant on technology...
