Reasonable on 05 April 2009
If it works, isn't bloated (2GB recommended for the OS, right...) and actually streamlines and improves on XP then maybe.
But really MS underestimated the effects of the requirements. I work for a company with over 80,000 employees, and we purchase Dells configured to XP rather than Vista simply because it needs less power and is more reliable. I doubt we're alone in that. MS needs to really get 7 running on the same spec as XP IMHO or the same thing may happen again.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
