This is an interesting article from GCN:

So if you are a Public Sector developer out there using Windows XP and you can't use Visual Studio 2008, there's hope for you.

I'm personally aware that it (VS 2008) runs well on a netbook with 512MB of ram.  (right Joel? <grin>)

So, is Windows 7 expensive?  Well, that depends on how you look at it - its certainly cheaper than a new machine!

In public sector DPE we're looking forward to hearing about all of your resurrected hardware!
