IF Moore's Law hold true and we see two more doublings of processor power before this versonod Windows is released, the we can expect to see PC's with speeds of upwards 14 Ghz and accompanying hardware. At this lever, it would seem that the 5 Ghz required by the new OS is really quite minimal.
Even if we see only one doubling of power before the release, then processors would be at about 7 Ghz + and although this would of course require new computing upgrades for businesses, IT departments should already be planning for such upgrades despite the new OS's due to other software requirements.
Either way, it seems that Microsoft is keepng up with trends and while I would enjoy an OS from M$ that was not so resource hungry, I am sure that here is a trade off betwen productivity, features and resource use.
Don't be too overwhelmed ny the big numbers in computing power, We all used to use a Pentium (I) 33 Mhz with 6 Mb of Ram and that was great for the time...really only 12 years ago. My how time flies.
