RE: A deep dive into Windows 7 (build 6801)
Well, judging from all the reviews I have read, it seems undisputed that Windows 7 will have a considerably smaller footprint than Vista. Which seems to make Windows 7 a viable option even for Netbooks.

Apart from that, TV John is right: is IS pointless to ask for hardware requirements for a pre-beta version.
