Just to throw out a bone here for MSFT - if you have spin up a small
business to develop a software product (even if it's not incorporated yet /
won't formally be) the requirments for the bizspark (www.bizspark.com) from
program from microsoft are low and they give you all their software free
for up to 3 years. Just a heads up.

It depends on how much money you like to burn for nothing.
I have a core duo notebook, 2GB Ram, some 500-odd GB in the HD and use
it as my main computer, for designing embbedded hardware. I use ALL
programs you can think about (even Altium Designer) and have no troubles
with that. If you like to use office 1*10^128 and Windows 1384, it is up to
you, I use what works for me and I don't need to fork tons of money to have
"the newest crop" to show my friends.
It is a matter of usability x price. I'll buy a new computer (and hard
disk, and OS, etc) when and IF I feel the need, not because it is new.
