From what I've read, Vista will be very resource hungry, requiring at the minium, an 800 mhz processor, 512 mb of RAM, and 15 Gb of hard drive space.

If you want better performance, you'll need probably twice that for everything, a graphics card, and a DVD drive.

Now, admittedly I think many Poser users will have much more than that on their system (I know I do) but these requirements are most likely only there because of all the "eye candy" Vista will have.

It simply amazes me that Vista will require 15 Gb of my hard drive, while Windows 98 only needed 255 Mb. What's so special about visual effects on the desktop that the operating system needs so much more space? Because I find it hard to believe that all the needed, non-visual features will take up such a large amount of extra space.
