serious question as I know of a few people that have computers with no =

computer with Vista in the coming months would Vista's "Enhanced
Reduced = Functionality" be a concern?=20

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

    A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:

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