       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.

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