I found this article this morning with the recommendation from Microsoft on what the “Average” Longhorn PC spec should be.
Microsoft is expected to recommend that the “average” Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.
If I have a terabyte of HD space in my machine I better be single and not have to leave the house. I know that back when I got my first PC it had 10meg drive and I thought that was allot. Now I have 250 Gig, but a terabyte of space in a normal PC that is really to much to fathom……
