* 512 MB of system memory

lol I doubt that it will only be 512MB

I don't trust neither the release date nor requirements at all. This is as bogus, if not more, as the supposed "PSP Phone" specs everyone is already drooling about.

I think this could be pretty real, I think i've read in some microsoft news, that the new windows 7 would have a lower system requirements than windows vista, so i think that this thing could be true, but I hope it'll come out early though

because I think this is the new kind of XP

Hi Markcooz , you are right , i am agree with you that the new windows 7 would have a lower system requirements than windows vista, so i think that this thing could be true,what the new version of windows 7, and what should be the specifications of computer for windows 7 new version>?

And what was the point of this post? :|

Windows 7 can run on damn near anything as long as it meets the base requirements.

Which yours obviously does not for Windows 7 Ultimate.

And if you think requirements for games/apps/os's are BS, then switch to a MAC. They have no requirements. If it runs on a MAC, then it runs. There is no questioning of whether it will run good or not like there is with windows. It either does or it doesn't.

Windows 7 is released since quite some time ago.
