What a load of baloney. You can't even *install* Vista on an 800 MHz CPU,
but "Windows 7" will run perfect and fast on it, complete with advanced
graphics!

I'm guessing that the next revelation - by some equally obscure "PC
magazine" in Katmandu - will be that when you fart in front of any "Windows
7" machine with a 3.5" floppy drive, a little hand will come out of the
floppy drive slot and wave it away.
