（综合讯）微软发表新操作系统Windows Vista的硬件需求，并发布一个软件检测用户的电脑能否装上新系统。
微软推出的Vista“Get Ready”网页列出了“Vista Capable(能装Vista的)”电脑和“Premium Ready”的硬件要求。
一部电脑被标签为“Vista Capable”的话，它必须有一个800MHz的处理器，512MB记忆体和一张支持DirectX 9的显示卡。如果是“Premium Ready”的话，得要有1GHz的处理器，1GB记忆体和更强劲的显卡来满足Windows Aero的规格。
“Capable”和“Premium”的重要区别就是能否运行微软“Aero”新视窗立体界面。
微软同时在网页上推出升级建议软件，用户可用该软件，测试自己的电脑是否适合使用那一款新的操作系统。
微软新视窗系统其中一个版本名“Vista Starter”，将不在美国发售，而只在新兴市场发售。家庭用户版本有三个：“Vista Home Basic”、“Vista Home Premium”和“Vista Home Ultimate”，商务用户版本两个：“Vista Business”和“Vista Enterprise”。

那么要求那么高？？？
很变态的要求啊！就算我的电脑配置很高，也会希望操作系统不要耗费太大的资源，以更好地完成其他任务。
NND，手头的windows XP VLK，从昨天起被认证为盗版，现在每隔一阵跳出来一次提示，郁闷的要命。看来微软是坚决的要把我打击到apple阵营了。
逼我出动了换号器，all done。
哪位朋友如果也出现了这个问题的话，可以去找个换号器重新换个序列号。
