The date for the replacement of Windows Vista as the current operating system is approaching.
Windows 7 may appear on the market during Christmas business or it is already when reading this article and the question arises

• 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
• 1 GB RAM for the 32 bit version
  2 GB RAM for the 64 bit version
• 16 GB available hard disk space 32-bit version
  20 GB available hard disk space 64-bit version
• DirectX 9 capable graphics card with 128 MB memory (to use Aero)
• DVD-R / W drive
