With all due respect, I would NOT be LYING. If it were "up to me" being the operative words in my statement.
Read up before being a jerk, I clearly said what I feel to be the difference between "running" a program and using a program.
If it were "up to me" I would up the specs to avoid having people crying that they couldn't produce content like the examples show in less than a day or maybe not at all.

A recommendation doesn't mean diddley squat if they place the minimum requirements on the very edge of usability.

I'm not being a jerk. You supposed yourself to be answering a question I'd asked of someone else. Well, I didn't ask what you would recommend, I asked what would the minimum system requirements* *be. That, quite simply is what is stated on the box.

I even went so far as to look up the definition of MSR on wikipedia just to make sure I was on the right track.

The 'Minimum system requirements' must be satisfied for the software to be usable at all. Computers with lower specifications than the minimum requirements may sometimes also run the software. It is suggested, however, that the user will not have a representative experience of the software this way. Generally this set is regarded more of a rule than a guideline. A system meeting this requirement will provide basic performance of a software application.
