Our good friend in Ottawa, Mr. Alec Saunders of Iotum fame, has an interesting post today about his Windows Vista Beta 2 First Impressions.

Now, everyone who knows us knows that we're not big fans of the Windows world and tend towards the Apple side of the force. So this is a pretty biased opinion, granted, but this really caught my eye:

I’ve installed the software on my Toshiba Tecra S1 laptop, and on my HP TC1100 tablet.  Both of these systems are a little underpowered for Vista, which means it runs a little slowly on them.  The Tecra is a 1.4Ghz Centrino system with 1.2 gigs of memory, and the TC1100 is a 1.4Ghz system with 1 gig of memory.

Alec is a very smart guy and definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to tech. For the record, I'm running on a 1.67Ghz PowerBook with 2 GB of RAM, which is at least somewhat equivalent to the machines he mentions above (though with more memory). I'd be pretty upset if Apple's next OS made my Mac feel a little underpowered.

I'm just saying.
