Hardware Requirements and Performance
According to Microsoft, "nearly all PCs on the market today will run Windows Vista" and most PCs sold after 2005 are capable of running Vista.
Much hardware that worked in XP does not work, or works poorly in Vista, due to companies going out of business, lack of interest in supporting old hardware, and changes in driver models. Service Pack 1 for Vista is said to fix many of these problems.

Famous quotes containing the words hardware and/or performance:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
