Many can't run new Windows OS

LONDON, May 20 (UPI) -- Windows Vista, the next version of Microsoft software, has been criticized because it takes up too much space and memory for most British computers.

A technology and telecommunications consultant has reviewed the operating system and said only five percent of British households have computers able to handle everything Vista has to offer.

This includes added security and 3-D graphics, among others.

David Bradshaw, an analyst at Ovum, said many computers -- especially laptops -- will have trouble processing Vista's features.

The Times of London reports computers will need a 1 gigahertz processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM and 128 megabytes of graphics memory, among other requirements, to fully run Vista.

Microsoft has denied the problem, saying nearly every PC on the market will be able to run Vista, which is due out later this year.
