  On the page with that link is another link that says minimum =
requirements.=20
  If you go there it shows "internet" as one of the requirements. If you =
are=20
  telling me that it saying internet under requirements is not a =
requirement=20
  because it has a "-" in the box then why does it say internet? It =
doesn't=20
  say "ram stick" or "HDTV" or "Digital
Camera" does it?

     Actually no though you have repeatedly lied about this.  The =
minimum=20
  requirements from=20
  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx are

    A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:

      a.. A modern processor (at least 800MHz1).
      b.. 512 MB of system memory.
      c.. A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
  Even for a Windows Vista Premium Ready PC the requirement is only =
"Internet=20
  access capability" not any actual access.  This makes sense since a =
system=20
  builder doesn't provide Internet service.  The intent is that if you=20
  purchase a premium ready PC that you can get Internet access if you =
want it.

    Somewhere on Microsoft's website are the requirements for Vista, an=20
  internet
    connection was listed on those requirements, but until someone =
actually
    see's a boxed version I would guess the requirements could change.
