Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's any practical alternative to Windows and I think it's a really good OS, but after using Firefox I think IE is naff.

Windows Vista is looking quite swanky. No doubt it will cost the earth and will need a monster amount of RAM.

When it was unveiled, apparently they said the top PCs at the time could just about run it (or could almost run it or something.)

Apparently you'll need something like 1.5GB RAM minimum for it to run decently, according to my techy mate.

Longhorn was the code name for development, Vista is the product name.

Longhorn is always the codename isn't it?

No, all the development names are different, 95 was Chicago, 98 was Memphis and XP was Wistler (Coincidentally a cancelled NT4.0 was codenamed Cairo which is where XP comes from, the greek letters Chi (X) and Rho (P)).
