Can't remember the figure but I remember hearing somewhere that only about 60% of all comps used will be able to actually run it. My mate installed it on his laptop and then took it straight off again, says it just demanded so much from his laptop he had to disable quite a few features in it to make it work smoothly

I had the testversion for some month ago...the performance what vista need from the pc..is so hard, that i will not buy me that.also it have many bugs, that i heard from hackers and pc junkies xD

The Design is very nice and has some good features, but so hard pc performance is not good.also i have many problems to play age of empires 2 the conqueros..

Well, once you have it, it's really not that bad. I don't know what people are complaining about. I've had no problems, even with the games I play. The only thing is that your computer should be able to handle it.
