Hi Charles and all, If you want to make that argument consider this. When Windows Vista came out Windows XP was already six years old, and it introduced a lot of new graphics technology that wasn't possible on the hardware specs in 2001. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 use the exact same hardware requirements as Windows Vista, and actually run better on the same hardware specs. So your argument of having to replace your hardware every time Microsoft upgrades doesn't hold water. I really urge you guys to research your facts before making baseless arguments like this because Microsoft does not change system requirements every two years or for every Windows upgrade like you suggest.
Cheers!
