Actually, the hardware requirements for Windows 7 are relatively mild, basically the same as Vista. I suppose that's because Windows Vista has been out for over two years and we've all had time to get used to the idea of advanced hardware requirements from an operating system combined with the fact that hardware that was once deemed as a steep-and-expensive increase has become commonplace. In any case, the minimum system requirements you'll need forWindows 7include: * DVD-ROM or DVD Burner Drive * 1.5GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 2.0GHz or faster 64-bit (x64) processor * 1GB Memory (32-bit) / 2GB Memory (64-bit) * 16GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20GB (64-bit) * DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver Test system, on which the 32-bit version was installed, has a DVD burner, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor, 1GB Memory/RAM, with NVIDIA GeForce 6100 onboard video, and plenty of disk space. (For this particular test system, I installed an additional SATA hard disk, switched the cables, and installed Windows 7 RC on it. When I need to switch back to Vista, I just shut down and switch the cables. While it may sound like a crude mechanism, it is relatively quick to make the switch due to the SATA connectors, and I can reformat and reinstall at will without having to worry about dismantling my Vista test configuration.) What's new in this version? The short answer is plenty! If you've been following my blogs over the past few months, you already have an overview of many of the new features, such as a new Taskbar, Jump Lists, Aero Snap, Aero Peek, Problem Steps Recorder, file system Libraries, User Account Control Settings, and enhancements to Task Manager and Resource Monitor just to name a few. At this point, Windows 7 RC is said to be feature-complete, which means that everything that was planned is now in the operating system One of the hottest new features being introduced as an add-on with the RC version is XP Mode, which will allow you to run older apps that work fine in XP but are incompatible with 7 in a virtual environment. XP Mode is based on Microsoft's Virtual PC and runs Windows XP SP3 in a virtual machine. Keep in mind that XP Mode is available only with Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions and requires that your CPU support hardware virtualization. Other new features being introduced with the RC include BitLocker To Go, which extends the BitLocker drive encryption feature to USB removable drives. Another new security feature aimed at removable drives is actually something that Microsoft removed from the operating system — AutoRun. When you connect a removable drive, malware will no longer be able to piggyback off of AutoRun to launch its attack. While not as crucial as some of the other features in the operating system, you'll now find a plethora of new multimedia-based features, new sound schemes, new themes, and new desktop wallpapers, including a picture shuffle that changes your wallpaper every 30 minutes. And there's much, much more...
