I disagree

I think that M$ should at least let the community know what their goals are for hardware requirements of the various versions. If they are aiming to make Windows 7 available for netbooks, that might have an affect on people purchasing or waiting to purchase netbooks. The same with other computers. If you are purchasing a new computer and are dithering about what size RAM to go for then an idea of what Windows 7 would require could make the difference on what you choose. I am sure M$ has set goals for the developers to aim for. If they set goals that people will not put up with, then better to get it on the table now rather than later when you might run into the whole "Vista capable" mess again where it is flagged as being suitable for Vista but you find that it is only suitable if you will accept performance that is slower than Windows ME.

The other point is that if M$ finds people are not going to accept the goals M$ has set then M$ might revisit those goals and make them more acceptable to the user community and also lower the requirements.
