"Microsoft is expected to recommend that the "average" Longhorn PC 
feature 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 on the market today."

In other words, we can expect Microsoft's demo to be done at a snail's pace?
