Sorry for all the delay in coming up with this humorous(!?) post.Well, I had my exams and then ...laziness ;)
This is nothing original...just a rip-off from Slashdot...well...if u dont find it humorous,I can't help.After all ,it is c/o Slashdot. As far as I am concerned,I jus broke out laughing at the post and the comments that followed it.
Here is the post as it is...

"The guys over at winhistory.de managed to get their Windows XP Professional running on a very minimal box: an Intel Pentium clocked down to 8 MHz with 20 MB of RAM. (The installer won't work with less than 64 MB, but after installing you can remove memory.) The link has plenty of pictures of their progress in achieving this dubious milestone. They deserve a Golden Hourglass award for 'extreme waste of time.' What obscure hardware configurations have you managed to get Windows running on?"
And then, the comments follow...lolz
"....a Beowulf cluster of these!"
"AMD Athlon 3000+ with 1 GB of RAM. A miracle... I know... and STILL I have to reinstall it every couple of months!!"
"So they win an award for biggest waste of time... and somehow I read about it on the front page of Slashdot. Methinks the award was right."
"That's nothing. I got Vista to run on a quad core, state of the art SLI system with only 4GB of ram.
OK, so it only sort of runs, the SLI doesn't actually work and a lot of the positional audio effects on my sound card have disappeared... but I'm hopeful that, with enough time for them to upgrade drivers, I may one day get it fully functional. Until then, Minesweeper is screamingly fast." ....now thats Microsoft.
"
"They deserve a Golden Hourglass award for 'extreme waste of time.'"
Uh... I don't think they'd appreciate that - they probably see plenty of hourglasses already.
"
And the best of it all...
"20 Megs of RAM? I thought 640K was supposed to be enough for anyone!!!"
lolz...now where is Bill!!!They ought to have some changes in the guys who decide the Minimum Requirements...or they have to follow that standard with 'to boot up in 5 minutes...or in that order of time' ;)
Well...the next original post will take time and if you have any nice controversial issues ...gimme...I'm as always outta ideas. Guyz,help!
What says thou...
PS:Hey, my visitor count has crossed 1000 ...yippee ;)
