    You can laugh, but you'll probably need that much to run the next iteration of Windows.

    These press releases ripped right off of PR newswire and posted to Slashdot always remind me of the "find the fake ad" section of Games magazine. "Find the fake news story planted on Slashdot to generate `buzz'". Bah. I hate marketing.

    So you're saying that /. is marketing for Crey? Have you considered that maybe the press release says what needs to be said? Have you also considered that most /. stories are summaries of complete stories? Very few (with the exception of reviews and "ask /.") Slash stories are "original material". That's what this site is: A NEWS DIGEST!

    Now then. The real question is: will this thing fit on my desktop?
