this rating systems is trying to make pc's easier to understand for non-geeks, and that's a good thing. hey every new version of the Mac OS that comes out has extremely limited support for what they call "legacy devices". Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for trying to preserve both backward integrity with software and support for older pc's and hardware. Windows XP is like 5 years old already, and theyre getting beefed at all the time for not improving it enough. so now theyll come out with a new OS and peopel will beef that it's too new and too much better. give me a break! every few years folks ya gotta buy new and better pc's, get used to it and plan for it. my in-laws are still running win 98 with like 64MB of ram and they cant understand why it's slllooooooowwww. but theyre ok if i spend $300 of my time to defrag and try to clean the POS out. for the same $ they could buy a new dell with XP, 512, 80, dvd burner, and a warranty. bring on vista!
