Didn't see any mention of the amount of memory on their test machines.
Makes me wonder.

Indeed.  Install OS.  Spend 15 minutes or more getting the UI back
like I'm used to instead of looking like a 2-year old's toy.

Now, depending if you've had the (mis)fortune of using Windows 2000,
you will either not be able to find admin tools, or they will be such
that you waste hours looking for things that aren't there.

The only good thing I have found is that regedit can finally handle
multi-strings.  Oh, and it does boot reasonably quickly.
