That is correct BUT the vast majority of people DON'T have the proper hardware (and i mean anything before Vista was released isn't the proper hardware) hence their dislike for the OS. Even Steve Ballmer says it is a work in progress - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04...ta_incomplete/ .

Oh and a celeron with 512 meg of RAM is within specification for Vista http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...uirements.mspx .

Anyhow back to the matter in hand - engineersruntheworld you are correct as there is no Linux blu-ray solution. They do not have the licenses to decode the encryption methods used in HD. So you are stuck with Windows - either XP or Vista. If your getting a brand new PC then Vista will work fine but make sure you have extra ram budgeted in the spec. If your getting an older PC XP is the best bet.
