Will my computer run that software?

I just used CNet’s Vista-readiness webtool in conjunction with system requirements labs to analyze my laptop. My lil laptop that could can’t handle Vista. As you can see in the image, lappy is a bit too “basic”. This confirms my suspicion..not that my laptop is slow, but the next MS OS is even more bloated. My theory is that MS Vista will have Windows 3.1, Windows 95, 98, NT, XP all rolled up together with all their files existing in perfect disharmony. Afterall even with Windows XP you can fireup the original Windows Media Player.

System Requirement Labs has several other tests on their website for other software. Check if your computer can handle the latest game or software package here.
