Vista ready?

A survey by Everdream recently found that “Of desktops studied, 80 percent were not capable of handling an upgrade to Vista”. The survey involving nearly 145,000 desktop and laptop PCs concluded that there is a significant lack of readiness for Vista from a hardware perspective.

The survey concluded that:
> 69.5% of machines do not have the required RAM
> 62.4% of machines do not have the required hard drive
> 18.4% of machines do not have the required free hard drive space
> 6.7% of machines do not have the required processor speed
> 79.9% of machines do not meet at least one of the above listed requirements
> 93.8% of companies have at least one machine that does not meet the above requirements
