[ossrp-control] Re: Current Update; And, Future Specs!

Hi Tony,

As far as I know, there will be two versions of Windows Longhorn, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. Microsoft haven't given out much in the way of system requirements, and are probably unlikely to until they ship the first public beta of Longhorn. From what I know so far, it will require a fairly modern processor and 512Mb of RAM, or at least that's what Bill Gates announced at the recent Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, WinHEC. I've also heard that it's likely to run on systems with a lower specification, although the functionality of Longhorn will be scaled to meet the available resources of a system. What this means, is that you won't get all of the features on systems with lower resources, and this will likely mean that some of the elements of the new graphics system won't be available on machines with lower resources.

I've noticed in the current updates that Microsoft is including what is called, A MalWare Removal. There have been several of these. Any tippers as to what's going on and can this be expected on the increase of these kinds of things as we look toward the next Windows release?

Here's my second part of this post; probably, the most important, as, it's more on topic.
We've talked about the screen reader a good deal already; but, nothing has been said as to the specs of LongHorn. Will it be a huge, enormous thing? What about the system requirements for the thing? Tons of RAM? Hundreds of gig of hard drive? Well, you get the idea.
Some have already been talking about the deep and profound core of the reader, and I appreciate that, though it's way too big for this old MillHill boy. That's a boy who was raised around a cotton mill work atmosphere, for those of you who don't know the cornbread delicacies of the South U S of A. Now, let's hear some plain, basic stuff on what it's going to take to run the OS successfully; like, how grand of a machine will be needed to run it; and, what about 64 byt as opposed to 32 byt? Can we expect the same difference we had when going from 16 to 32. You remember 3.1, don't you?

I know, I'm sorry but, I saved all my questions till now.

Thanks, for hearing me out; and, by the way, have a great day!
