got some info on vista the beta uses 820 mb of ram in idle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, it needs 7 gigs on hd for instalation, and only s-ata drives and only on NTFS partitions not FAT32 will be supported(installable), and only non integrated graphic cards will be needed, and it will not support old dvd drives.....BASTARDS....Im thinking of not geting VIsta at all anymore, like IBM (the broke their contract with msoft, and will be using linux red hat on their pc's), and older dvd drives will be unsupported, and i guess 2 gigs wont be anything special 
with vista
"As it was, the software enforcement of regional codes was a pain in the butt. The code was complex and not exactly reliable. The Vista team said that only people who have an old drive will notice any difference and since the average life of a player is three years, it is unlikely that there are any about to cause trouble. According to a Volish developer's blog, most of the pre-2000 DVD players that Microsoft could find were either dying or already dead"
"A CHAP who managed to sneak a peek at the Vole's internal beta version 2 of Windows 53xx informed us that, even while idling, Vista eats as much as 800Mb of system memory.
Yeah, we were shocked too, but you have to believe the screenshot below.
Memory manufacturers couldn't be happier about that, as it will make people to go out and buy more memory. Our source reported that Vista runs ok with 1024Mb of system memory but no-doubt 2048Mb would be much better.
Vista won't install on FAT32 partitions, it only likes NTFS partitions. We also know that the system performs quite well on an Athlon 4000+ and a Geforce 7800 GTX 512 works just fine in the mix. Aero glass looks good, we liked it when we first clapped eyes on Beta 1 version.
Vista occupies roughly three times more space than Windows XP. In fact, it'll require up to a whopping seven gigabytes of drive space.
