It still is, in reality. The 512MB is a MINIMUM amount of RAM needed to load 
up and run.

Playing "devil's advocate," the author might not have known. You don't expect 
anyone at MickySoft to be honest, do you? :)

If they follow the course they always have, and considering the CLAIMED R&D 
they will spend, it'll be at least s pricy as XP. Yes, I've always been at

that it's their innovation. Just another lie from the most immoral company in 
the US.
