They're making the spec requirements so high because they're making the OS for the next generation of computers. If you remember, it took 6 years for Vista to come out after the introduction of XP. Computer technology jumps by leaps and bounds in 6 years. Odds are that you will buy a new computer within that timeframe, and it will be capable of Vista. In fact, if the current computers that are being sold right now can handle Vista, how much farther will computers be 6 years later? Also, 512 MB of RAM is nothing these days. I look at Firefox, right now, it's taking 120 MB of resources as I speak. I bought my laptop 3 years ago, and have upgraded the RAM from 512 MB to 1.5 GB. RAM is relatively cheap. As far as I see it, it's the best and cheapest upgrade you can make to your computer that will make a noticeable difference.
I actually kind it kind of sad in a morbid way that it took Microsoft 6 years to come out with a new OS... because the REST of the technology world does NOT jump by leaps and bounds of 6 years... It's more like 6 months. I'm not saying that Microsoft should release an OS every year (kind of like Apple... ahhh, but anyway), but 6 years is a LONG time to wait in the computing world. And they STILL rushed it... It's not like developers were perfecting the software for 6 years; developers had less than a year to get their stuff to work, and still most of the older peripherals that we all bought for XP (because it has been around for so long) aren't working. I'm not saying that Microsoft should have waited any longer; they NEEDED to get SOME kind of product out on the market before the rest of the world saw them as obsolete and left them, but I think that Microsoft should work on a GIANT service pack (we're talking gigs here) that updates the whole kernal, rather, trashes the old one and puts in a new one; and makes Vista what it was meant to be (for free of course. I didn't spend 350 bux to have to pay money to upgrade my software to a more stable environment). Kind of like the xbox of the 360. Did you know that today's 360 was Microsoft's concept of the original xbox? Except when Sony decided to release the PS2, Microsoft knew that they had to jump into the market to stay competitive, so they threw together the xbox from what is today's 360 project. Then of course they released the xbox 360 to compete with the PS3, but could not call it the xbox2... I mean thats just bad advertising; *Which would you want to buy? The Xbox 2 or the Playstation 3*... So that was smart on their part.

So lets just hope that there is a brighter future for Vista and all the money put into it. Soon.

Jacob
