Richard,

2. Windows 98 requires 64MB of memory and a 5GB HDD, and has features everybody wants. People think they need a top of the line PII to complement the top-of-the-line OS.

Memory and CPU HD requirements of Win 98 are the same as Win 95. It will have features that everybody already has (in Win 95) plus some features that nobody wants (integrated I.E. 4.0) according to recent poll.
I believe Win NT 5.0 will be leaner than 4.0 and 3.51.

Joe

The resource requirements of Win98 are likely to be identical to those of Win95. Win98 is not much more than Win95 OSR2 plus IE4 plus all of the various add, fix and patch files that are already available. The additional components that are new will not make a significant difference in overall resource requirements.

That said, I do expect to see a "bump" in new PC sales when it is released and becomes available. Hype and sex both sell, after all.
