Windows Vista podría no funcionar correctamente en, al menos, half of current computers according to a study by the consulting firm gartner where they claim that many of the applications that will be incorporated into the new operating system will not work if some of its components have not been previously updated..
Microsoft has denied that the minimum requirements to be able to install Windows Vista are at least increasing the ram memory to 1GB and acquiring a latest generation graphics card, ensuring that although the minimum requirements are increased, the majority of computers will be able to enjoy their new operating system.
Those from Redmond are preparing a tool to less advanced users when optimizing the operating system configuration according to the hardware characteristics.
The tool called “Windows Performance Rating“, It is assumed that you will be able to analyze the intrinsic characteristics of the equipment, what is the speed of the processor, ram memory, hard drive, etc.. and give it a level between 1 and 5 configuring the different applications in this way and that the end user does not have to understand or know that their operating system has been reduced in order to have a certain fluidity.
Both the company's claim and that of the report, they have points in common, since they both affirm that some applications will not be able to work with modest hardware equipment
