Windows 8 demands are same as Windows 7

When the Windows Vista was launched, lot of people didn't upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista.The main reason behind this was the high system demands needed to run the operating system.
But now it seems like Microsoft has learned from their mistake.Microsoft has confirmed the system requirements for the Windows 8 operating system will be the same as those needed to run the current platform,Windows 7. It can also be lower than it.

Current Windows 7 hardware requirements are

• 1GHz microprocessor
• 1GB or 2GB of memory
• DirectX 9-supporting graphics hardware
• up to 20GB of hard disk drives

Besides,the list of hardware is similar to specifications of modern platforms for tablets and other ultra-portable devices.That said, it is clear that Windows 8 will be able to run on slates and similar PCs.


One of the features that Windows 8 will have is the ability to scale the user experience based upon the available hardware.Users with a high end computer can expect a better experience as the OS will adapt to make the most of that hardware.


"We've also built intelligence into Windows 8 so that it can adapt to the user experience based on the hardware of the user. So,whether you're upgrading an existing PC, or buying a new one,Windows will adapt to make the most of that hardware," said Tami Reller, corporate vice president and chief financial officer of Windows & Windows Live division at Microsoft's worldwide partner conference.
