Funny, I'm almost positive that Microsoft knows the expected release date of their product, whether the majority of PCs are capable of using it is another issue. However, the average 4-5 year old PC can handle it just it gets a bit laggy from time to time.
It doesn't want to boot at pc's with less then 1,5ghz i think.
