Hopefully my next PC would allow me to keep pace with winXXXX for
at least couple of versions.

Not unless you are content to run today's applications. MS and others will drive complexity to the limits of the best computers, and beyond. Voice needs lots of horsepower. The 'chrome' demo at WINHEC this week was pretty impressive, but to run really well it will need 'at least' a 450MHz processor and 3D Graphics acceleration, and probably 128MB RAM. No way Bill will let the market stagnate for his buddies in the CPU and PC business - need to use up those cycles! and frankly the results are awesome - I would buy chrome today, along with whatever system it took to run it...
