Future hardware requirements?

[thiophene]

Does anyone have any idea if the 128MB/1.5GB hardware requirements (just for the OS) might lessen with the 1.0 release? Maybe it's just me (and I'm pretty sure it's not), but that's a bit steep for a company who is trying to get on the good side of consumers.

I'd expect it to stay the same. In fact, it runs much better with 256-512 M of ram and more drive space for swap files.
