Yeah.  It is a bit heavy on the disk-space. :(

Blegh.  It runs just fine with 16MB, if things are configured properly.

I suspect it may work on a 32MB machine, though it will be somewhat slower, of
course.  I ran W2k Beta on my PII-300, 64MB machine, and it ran just as quickly
as NT4(SP6), which is faster than Win9x on my machine.

It will be much faster than W95B on 100MHz.

Blegh.  Read above (and in my other post).
