Annual Buying Guide:
How to Ensure New PC
Can Use Windows Vista
April 13, 2006; Page B1

It's a confusing time for computer buyers, and that makes this annual
spring buyer's guide to desktop computers harder to write than usual.
Microsoft's Windows XP operating system is in its last months of
primacy, yet the company still hasn't issued final guidelines for the
hardware you'll need to run Windows Vista, its successor, which is due
in January.

The rest is in the WSJ article.

My 6 year old 400 MHz laptop will run Vista. Just not with all the
bells and whistles. Gotta love Microsoft, they give you that option.
Apple often does not.
