What hardware requirements is Vista requiring? I'm curious because I barely meet XP requirements. Thanks in advance for the info.

Minimum supported system requirements

Windows Vista Capable and Premium Ready PCs

:whs: Plus,if by minimum for XP you mean ram,video card and proccessor,then you could upgrade fairly cheap compared to a new computer purchase.Or if you can just find a tower only with the right components,like at Tigerdirect or somewhere else.:D

This deal sucks!!! Office Depot wanted to see a copy of the coupon, can you believe that? There online ordering system accepted the code and deducted the $20 but they still wanted a copy of the cupon. This ment I would have had to mail it to them before anything would be mailed out. After some discussion with them I requested my money be put back into my account and they agreed.
